YMAA (the “old” and respected publishing company of Dr Yang Jwing Ming here in America) has several Emei kung fu resources I have studied, including a Baguazhang style. Still, it seems like a much smaller and less prolific (or less surviving) martial tradition than the other mountains. (But that’s also something to like about it).
As far as I know, it's been mainly a site of Buddhism for a good thousand years. Daoism is more Qingcheng Shan which is a few hours away. And yes, it was quite touristy. Didn't have the atmosphere that Wutai Shan had. That said, it's quite a large area, and I'm sure there are temples more focused on genuine practice away from the eyes of prying tourists.
Think 🤔 this is where Fung Duc Do, Abbot of the Southern Siu Lum (Shaolin) Temple! Set up based, after escaping the Ching’s attack in the Fujian (Fukien) Temple 😳🔥along w/ Jee Shim Shin Shee, P’ai Mei, Ng Mui, & Mew Hin (Fang Sai Yuk, grandfather) 😬
Was raining when I was there as well! Amazing sight , well worth the suicidal bus trip up/ down 🙂

Is Emei Shan still Daoist also or is it 100% Buddhist now. But from the video It looks more like tourist place anyhow.

Are you going to start investigating Emei martial arts?
