What temperatures should we expect on an April visit? Thank you, Susan and Jerry

The temple is extraordinary.

Hi Smillie I would like to bring my family of 8 includes parent of 70s and a kids of 7yrs to Mt Emei on Dec so hiking is not our choice, most probably will opt for cable car. Hope you can share with me some info as follows:- 1) Is the 2hrs bus journey from bottom of Mt Emei to cable car area 'rocky'? 2) Wish to spend a night at this monastery as we love historical place; do you notice about any heating system in the room as we will be there during winter? What about attached bathroom in the room? Best regards - angela

How to book the dormitory at the monastery and how much per person per night?

Is advanced booking of accommodation in the monastery possible?

What are your accommodation costs and what accommodation is available. We are getting conflicting pricing and types of accommodation available. Looking at staying overnight on the 10th May 2015 for three people.

can you tell me how much you paid? I am hearing it is very expensive from some tour guides....cant see why if there are shared bathrooms and squat toilets. If we spend a night there will we see the monks praying

I would like to know what the rooms are like and the price - 3 of us would love to spend the night in the monastery and share a meal there. I am getting conflicting reports from tour agents saying it is very expensive - cannot see why. How can we make a booking? I know about toilets in China - some are disgusting - my last visit was however 20 years ago. Please tell me there has been some improvement.
