Leshan Giant Buddha Ticket Guide: Mountain Road (CNY 80), Waterway (CNY 70), Which is Better?

The Leshan Giant Buddha, located on Lingyun Road, Shizhong District, Leshan City, Sichuan Province, is the world's largest stone-carved seated Buddha, standing at 71 meters tall. Construction began in the early years of Emperor Xuanzong's Kaiyuan reign (713 AD) during the Tang Dynasty, initiated by the monk Haitong. The project aimed to calm the turbulent waters where three rivers converge, ensuring the safety of passing ships and people. After several interruptions and resumptions, the colossal statue was finally completed in the 19th year of Emperor Dezong's Zhenyuan reign (803 AD), taking approximately 90 years to build. In 1996, the Leshan Giant Buddha was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List. II.
