Mount Emei in Leshan, China, announced two Mid-Autumn events for 25 September 2026, combining a moon-themed programme at Xiangchi Pool with music and a mountain walk at Wannian Temple. The announcement came from the scenic area on 24 September and places both programmes within the mountain heritage landscape.
Mount Emei lists two Mid-Autumn events for 25 September
The first programme, Xiangchi Moonlit Night - Mid-Autumn in the Clouds, was scheduled for the Xiangchi Pool scenic area on 25 September 2026. Its announced activities included sachet making, riddles, sword-form lessons, mooncake making, wish cards and seal rubbing, followed by a four-part moon-worship performance.
The notice also listed music by bells and the guqin, a traditional Chinese zither, alongside a joint martial-arts performance involving robots. It placed the programme at an elevation of 2,070 metres and described Xiangchi Pool as the setting for the evening event. The event announcement for 25 September names both the date and the Mount Emei venue.
Mount Emei connects temple music with its heritage setting
The second programme, Baishui Autumn Qin Gathering, was scheduled for the Wannian Temple scenic area on the same date. The announcement described a mountain walk ending near the temple, with an autumn market, handmade mooncakes, osmanthus sachets, riddles and a guqin gathering beside Baishui Pool.
That pairing gives the announcement a direct link to the character of the site: one programme uses a high mountain pool for a moon-themed ceremony, while the other uses a historic temple setting for outdoor music. Mount Emei forms part of the UNESCO-listed mixed heritage property that also includes the Leshan Giant Buddha Scenic Area, inscribed in 1996. UNESCO records the property as combining Buddhist culture, ancient architecture and natural vegetation zones; its World Heritage listing for Mount Emei identifies the site in Sichuan, China.
