[2025 Leshan Attraction] Travel Guide for Leshan Museum (Updated May)

Leshan Buddha attraction was amazing and beautiful to see. It was very easy to get to after doing my research. There is a train from Chengdu east that takes around 1hr to Leshan. Once in Leshan I went the scenic route and got the bus from the bus station next to the train station. The bus K1 takes you there in 30mins, when you get there it a 10min walk to the entrance to the North gate. You can buy your ticket there and no need to prebook just have your ID. The walk from the north Gate is quicker but a lot of stairs to get to the statue but worth it. Great day out 👣#2023travelwish #bucketlistreboot#chinatravel

Leshan Giant Buddha Museum is also the Leshan City Museum. The collection is quite standard, nothing too surprising, but the architecture of the Leshan Giant Buddha Museum is truly amazing. It combines indoor and outdoor spaces, with one entire wall borrowing from the natural cliff face, and there's even a cliff tomb cave—so cool! The hall also uses natural light, making the entire space feel very open. The museum isn't very large, and part of it is an office, so you can tour it quite quickly. One thing that left a deep impression on me was a 'Buddhist Statue Comparison Chart' inside, which I found very interesting. They made a model group photo of several large Buddhist statues from across the country, directly comparing their sizes. I realized that I had already seen some of them without specifically going to see them! There's also a mini version of the Leshan Giant Buddha inside, which is kind of cute, and features of ancient Shu culture—a smiling pottery figurine. I was charmed by it when I saw it at the Chengdu Museum! The smile is so joyful! This place indeed has a magical power to make people happy! It has never changed through the ages.

I went to Leshan Giant Buddha, a World Heritage Site I saw in a textbook when I was in elementary school. It is located in Leshan City, about an hour and a half by car from Chengdu, Sichuan Province. In a word, it was spectacular. The size of the Buddha is overwhelming. You can see the top of the Buddha from above, but I recommend going down and looking at it from the base. However, there were a lot of people on the way down, and there was a long line. Even though it was a weekday, it took more than an hour before we finally reached the base. Also, I originally wanted to see the Buddha from the river, so I planned to take a sightseeing boat, but the tickets were sold out on the day, so it didn't work out. When going to Leshan City, I recommend booking a tour and getting support from a tour company for chartering a car and purchasing tickets for the sightseeing boat.

The biggest Buddha in the world! it is said a monk and his disciples built the Buddha to change the ferocity of the river. #buddha #chengdu #china #tourists
