Leidongping is the terminal station of the sightseeing bus in Emei Mountain Scenic Area. There is a direct bus from the Baoguo Temple Bus Center at the foot of the mountain. This is also a must pass place on the way to Mount Emei. No matter which route you choose to visit Mount Emei, you will pass through here on the way to Mount Jinding.
There are some hotels here because their prices are relatively cheap. Most tourists who go to Jinding to watch the sunrise stayed here yesterday.
Located at an altitude of 2430 meters, Leidongping is situated on the Lianwang Slope of Mount Emei, between Baiyun Pavilion and Jieyin Hall.
Climbing from Huayan Peak to Leidongping, you will pass through China's largest high-altitude rhododendron conservation area. The snow period here is longer than that of Jinding, and it is often shrouded in misty air.
It is 1.5 kilometers from here to Jinding Cableway (Jieyin Pavillion), and it takes about 1 hour to walk. There are two main attractions nearby, one is the monkey area and the other is the ski resort. The monkeys here are more civilized than those in the Qingyin Pavilion monkey area, but please do not provoke them. The ski resort here is only open to tourists in winter.
Leidongping is a breathtaking scenic spot that cannot be missed on Mount Emei. It is an excellent place to watch the sunrise and the sea of clouds on Mount Emei. In the morning, when the first ray of sunshine falls on the mountains, the sea of clouds churns here, and tourists feel as if they are in a fairyland. In addition, Leidongping is suitable for tourists to take a leisurely walk and feel the tranquility and harmony of nature. If you want to explore Mount Emei more deeply, tourists can take the cableway to the Golden Summit here, which is also an experience not to be missed.
If you take the scenic area bus directly from the tourist center at the foot of the mountain to Leidongping from the beginning, the travel time will be about 2 hours. If you experience motion sickness, be sure to prepare motion sickness medicine. The road on Mount Emei is winding and twisting, and most cars are turning around, which can easily make passengers feel uncomfortable and even dizzy.
