Hiking is one of the main attractions, with trails criss-crossing the park. If you are tired there you can take a sedan chair carried by people but what you save in strain you'll spend in Yuan. Cable cars go to the summit and there is another one to the south to lessen the strenuous climbs.One of the most picturesque area is located between Niuxin Pavilion and Xianfeng Temple. The beginning of trail from Emeishan is through Leyin temple, cross concrete road, near Lin He restaurant/hotel/shop, between Fuhu temple entrance fee Y6 & Shanjue temple stairs.
During winter there is a skiing area, close to the summit.
