📷 Top Attractions

No.1 Emeishan
Linggongli (Mount Emei)
Zero Kilometer is a place name within Mount Emei Scenic Area in Emeishan, Leshan, Sichuan — where the hiking trail meets the park road, named as the traditional starting point for pilgrimages to the Golden Summit. At over 2,000 m, ringed by wooded peaks, it is both a rest stop reachable by car or shuttle and the rallying point for trekkers. Nearby farm stays, vegetarian eateries and mountain shops keep a simple, tranquil mood; dawn sea-of-clouds and cool evening breezes make it a gentle gateway to Emei's 'majestic, graceful, sacred, strange' spirit — where many summit journeys begin, and the divide between the 'drive-up' and 'hike-up' classic routes.
