Mount Emei Museum
峨眉山博物馆
A comprehensive museum beside Baoguo Temple at the entrance to Mount Emei, systematically presenting the mountain's Buddhist culture, natural ecology and geology.
The Mount Emei Museum is located near Baoguo Temple at the entrance to the Mount Emei scenic area. Its exhibits cover the Buddhist history and artifacts of Mount Emei as the home of Samantabhadra, rare animal and plant specimens, geological evolution, and poetry, calligraphy and painting from successive dynasties. It is a great way to understand the mountain's grandeur and gracefulness and its value as a dual World Heritage site before you climb. Admission is generally free with advance reservation, and the museum is closed on Mondays (check the official notice). It sits next to Baoguo Temple and Fuhu Temple, so schedule it for the afternoon before your climb or on a rainy day.
