A pretty calming visit in a Buddhist temple at the feet of Mount Emei
Mikolaj I,Dec 8, 2025
- Review from Viator
5.00An experience worth recommending. Please not that this experience takes you only to the buddhist temple at the feet of Mount Emei, not to the top. Nonetheles, the temple is huge and very beautiful, you can spend a long time there, just admiring the architecture. My guide, Heineken, also took me for a lunch in the monastery, where I had the opportunity to eat a simple but very tasty meal alongisde monks living in the temple which provided a really interesting atmosphere. One caveat is that the pictures provided in the listing are a little misleading as the Zen mindfulness is not nearly as fancy. Still, it is actually pretty calming and takes place in a beautifully furnished room at the temple, so I would still say it's worth it.
Trusted, Helpful, Friendly

5.00We went as a family of 6 (2 adults and 4 children) in Feb2025 which was still in winter approaching spring. We went to Dujiangyan-Bipenggou-Xiling Snow Mountain and Chengdu City for 6 days 5nights. The views were breathtakingly magical in Bipenggou and Xiling while we also loved the city of Chengdu for its calm and slow life.Mao Qing and his team , Pat prepared us a luxury 6 seaters car which comfortably fit all of us and the luggages. Everything was so smooth , bonus as they can communicate well in English, they were trusted, helpful, friendly ,punctual, accomodate our time and chaos with the kids. Pat even accompany us shopping which was so convenient. Mao qin accompanied us untill each of entrance gate. Good Job and keep up the good work! Surely will recommend to others!
