I plan to hike emeishan in december (20, 21,22), is it possible to go to the top or it is too cold?

The attraction opens all year round. But there will be thick snow in the mountain in winter time, so the officials would have traffic control. Thus it may be impossible for you to go to the mountaintop if there is snowfall.

Thank you Judy for your answer! Could you please give me more information? I mean, generally speaking, do people climb it in December (or it is closed most of the time?) ? Is it worth going there and spend 3/4 days there at this period? Moreover, what are the temperatures at the top of the mountain during this season? Do we need special equipments or we can rent "appropriate shoes" there ? Thanks a lot in advance, Victoire

In fact, most travelers would climb the mountain during June and Oct. due to the pleasant weather. In spite of that, some visitors still wish to go during Dec. where the snow landscape is fascinating. It is clear on the top of the mountain and everything is worthy. In particular, there are less people then, so you can better enjoy yourself on the Golden Summit.

Generally, you are suggested to spend 2-3 days there. Except visiting, you can go skiing and experience the hot spring.

The lowest temperature on the top of of the mountain may falls to -12C (10F). It will be very cold, so wamr clothes should be prepared. I rememeber it is fine to rent down jacket there, but for shoes, you should prepare by yourself like skidproof boots.
