Interesting old temple. We enjoy the visit despite the too many tourists.
It is an old well preserved templ, the budha and elephants are nice. We get there by cable car, and walk all the way down to parking lot, passing the pavilion and the lake. Strongly recommended.

Use the cable car towards the temple/monastery and go down by nice and easy path . The cable car is not reaching the temple. There are almost 200 steps left to the temple level but since the area is in nice forest the climbing is easier and with several stops as you wish. The temple itself has no unique speciality but the yard is beatiful, the sceneray through the cable car and when descending are beautiful. then the whole package is worth while.

We took the bus from Emei bus terminal – about a 30 minute ride to the mountain bus stop. We then boarded a cable car – about 15-20 minutes to get to the top. Then we hiked up concrete walkways and stairs up to the temple. This is a very nice large temple grounds. From Waniian temple, we took the trail down to visit Qingyin pavilion which is a long way down walking the concrete walkways and stairs. Close to the Qingyin pavilion there is a cutoff where you can visit wild monkeys. That trail, which I opted not to take, is about a mile long. My suggestion would be to get a one-way bus ticket to Wannian bus stop, a one-way cable car ticket, visit Wannian, hike down to Qingyin pavilion, visit to wild monkeys optional for the strong hikers, visit Qingyin and then take the easy trail down to a lower level bus station to get back to Emei town.

Wannian temple is at the middle section of ermeishan which is at about 2000 meter altitude. Over here it is not as cooling as jingding and it is more crowded as many tourists who do not want to climb to jingding will be here. You can take the bus to the cable station from the bottom of ermeishan and then take the cable up here. Will be good to buy two way ticket to save energy from the descent hike which may take up to two hours.

Along the steps to wannian temple there are monkeys again who will snatch food from tourists and feed on them. If you want to photograph them do remember to step away first lest they snatch your camera. They can be quite aggressive. Try not to feed them as sometimes you may be scratched and thereafter you will need tetanus shots.

Over here at wannian temple there is one big puti buddha riding on an elephant here. It is believed that puti buddha always arrived with his elephant hence the many elephant statues there. Over here, if you do bow and pay respect to the buddha , the monks will ring a bell for your blessing. There are also other buddha statues inside the temple where many locals will offer incense to. According to the guide on certain holidays this temple will be very crowded.

It is not as significant as jingding but worth a visit if you are already at ermeishan. Can be covered in a day tour.

Great historic site. Lots of stairs. Lot to get to the cablecar. Lot after it. And 100 more to get to the temple itself. Some 200 in all. Steep path. If you struggle with stairs, this site is not for you. The temple itself and surroundings is stunning. Don't miss the huge bronze bell.

This temple is worth a visit if you are going to the mountains of Emei. We arrived by cable car and walked to Wuxianggang where we took the bus. The surroundings are beautiful, even thouh in rain. It is possible to stay overnight in the guesthouse, and the newest ones have spacious rooms with nice view to the green forest around. They also serve vegetarian, simple food for an early dinner.

The area is very serene, quiet and impressive. There is a beautiful statue of a golden Buddha on a white elephant. People kneel down to pray and give offerings to Buddha. Monks were seen studying and writing.

Wannian Temple is one of the 33 monasteries situated on the Emei mountain. To get there, you need to do your best and climb very long stairs. After such a challange, you will find yourself in full quite and tranquility of the monastery.

This is a common problem when visiting famous attractions. The place, the environment, the buildings are all very worth visiting. Not much to talk about it here, you should experience it yourself. The down side will be the contrast between ancient cultures and modern tourist.
