As a recreational sport, Gliding has quickly become a popular choice for tourists visiting Mount Emei. This recreational activity was first launched in March 2017, offering an alternative experience to visitors-in addition to mountain climbing , skiing, watching the sunrise and sunset, and enjoying the hot spring.

Mount Emei saw its first snowfall in 2018 following the New Year holiday. The snowfall which lasted for approximately five days saw the snow depth at the Jieyin Temple reach at least ten centimeters. During the New Year festivities, the mountainous scenic spot received nearly 60 thousand tourists- a 16% increase compared with the same time last year.

A theme park for children has opened on Mount Emei. Measuring some 200-thousand square meters, the park includes animated themes from Disney films such as Princess Elsa, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs and the Zootopia.
