I went to Emei Shan (Emei Mountain, 峨眉山 ) during the Spring Festival holiday. I had a good feeling for good weather…. needless to say, we arrived on the clearest and most beautiful day!
Wayne and I took the 19:30PM bus from Chengdu to Emei. We arrived in Emei at night.
Woke up at 06:30 and took a bus half-way up the mountain. This was the gate to buy tickets. 150元
After about 1.5 hours, we suddenly broke above the clouds and were surrounded by blue sky in every direction.
This was the moment of decision we had been waiting for, cloudy or not. Beautiful beyond your wildest dreams.
Looking straight down!

Mission Accomplished. Emei Shan was spectacular.
Nice pic. Emei Shan a mountain that rises from earth at a height of approximately 3,099 m. This is most heighten mountain from the Four scared Buddhist Mountains. Mount Emei Sunrise and Cloud Sea is the most tourist attraction place.There are almost thirty old temples located on Emei Shan. People come here with messed up mind but then go with the open mind.
