The journey takes about 50 minutes, and the ticket price is 54 yuan. City Transportation: Taxis in Leshan are affordable, and taking a taxi can reach almost all the attractions.

For first-time visitors, it is recommended to climb the mountain for a close-up view. Take a taxi to Leshan Giant Buddha Parking Lot No. 6 or take a bus to Guicheng Mountain, and follow the signs to reach the north gate of the scenic area (this is the best choice for a short and direct route to the entrance). It takes about 20 minutes from the north gate to the Buddha's head, where you can check in at the Buddha's head, ring the Buddha bell, and enjoy the magnificent view of the Minjiang River.
