Hi,I am from Singapore travelling independently. I want to take a day trip from Chengdu to Emeishan in Sept 2023.Can I do this in in one day? I will take train leaving Chengdu East at 07.18Am & arrive Emeishan at 0845. For return on same day, I would like to take Emeishan train leaving 19:44 pm & arrive Chengdu East 20.53pm. What is the quickest way to see Emeishan including reaching the mountain peaks like Golden Summit.Do I have to book the train trips in advance? Is there discount train fares for foreigners above 65 years old? Thank you.

The quickest way is to take a sightseeing bus from the entrance of the scenic area to Leidongping Station and then walk about 20 minutes to Jieyin Palace where you can take a cable car to the Golden summit. After sightseeing, return the same way you came. Yes, it is recommended to book train tickets in advance. As I know, there is no discount in train fares for people above 65 years old, no matter Chinese or foreigners.

Jack, Thanks so much for your helpful advice,Much appreciated, Swee

You can visit Emei in one day but I do not recommend it especially for a 65 yr old. I spent the whole day in Emeishan and the whole day in Leshan. I recommend 2 - 3 days (relax).
