Is it suitable to go to Mount Emei in heavy rain?
Suitable to go. Because it rains in Mount Emei, it usually happens on the mountainside, and the sun usually shines when you reach the Golden Summit. If you only look at the Golden Summit, it won’t have any impact. You can just take the cable car up, and you can go back and forth in one day.
But if you want to climb the mountain by yourself, the road will be very slippery on rainy days. Please pay attention to safety. It is recommended to bring a walking stick and a raincoat. The best thing is to climb up and take the cable car down. Because walking downhill on a rainy day can easily cause your feet to slip.
