About Bailong Cave Temple
Despite the English “cave” in its name, the useful visitor experience is the temple and its wooded setting, not a developed underground cave tour. Local tradition links the name with the White Snake story, while the surrounding nanmu trees connect the place with Emei’s long history of monastic planting. It is a worthwhile pause on that specific climbing route, especially for visitors interested in the relationship between temples and forest.
What to look for
- The small Bailong Temple precinct on the Qingyin–Wannian route.
- The surrounding nanmu woodland and its monastic cultural associations.
