峨眉山位于中国西南部的四川省，距成都156 公里，走高速公路需1. 5 小时。
主峰金顶绝壁凌空，高插云霄，巍然屹立。登临其间，可西眺皑皑雪峰，东瞰莽莽平川，气势雄而景观奇，有云海、日出、佛光、圣灯四大奇观。
中部群山峰峦叠嶂，含烟凝翠，飞瀑流泉，鸟语花香，草木茂而风光秀，是我国著名的游览胜地，1996 年被联合国教科文组织列入“世界自然与文化遗产”。
进入山中，重峦叠嶂，古木参天;峰回路转，云断桥连;涧深谷幽，天光一线;灵猴嬉戏，琴蛙奏弹;奇花铺径，别有洞天。春季万物萌动，郁郁葱葱;夏季百花争艳，姹紫嫣红;秋季红叶满山，五彩缤纷;冬季银装素裹，白雪皑皑。峨眉山以优美的自然风光、悠久的佛教文化、丰富的动植物资源、独特的地质地貌而著称于世。素有“峨眉天下秀”的美誉。唐代诗人李白诗曰：“蜀国多仙山，峨眉邈难匹。”明代诗人周洪谟赞道：“三蛾之秀甲天下，何须涉海寻蓬莱。”当代文豪郭沫若题书峨眉山为“天下名山”。
