[2025 Leshan Attraction] Travel Guide for Wuyou Temple (Updated Mar)

⛰[Attraction Guide] 📍Address: Navigate directly to Leshan Haoshang Bridge 🚗Transportation: 1. Taxi 2. Car: Park at the Wuyu Temple parking lot (CNY 10 per entry) and walk 5 minutes to the flower fields. 3. From downtown Leshan, take bus No. 3 or 13 to "Wuyu Temple Station" and walk along the river for 10 minutes to enter the flower field area. 🕙Duration: 0.5–1 day 💰Tickets: Free 🌟Highlights: 🌸Spring at Leshan Haoshang Bridge is the most enchanting season along the Min River. From March to April each year, the fields on both sides of the bridge are blanketed with golden rapeseed flowers. The river flows like green silk, and the silhouettes of Lingyun Mountain and Wuyu Temple appear in the distance, creating a poetic scene of "a river winding through flower fields, with Buddha hidden among the green hills." Strolling through the fields, with butterflies and bees dancing around and the fragrance of flowers in the air, this is the most healing spring outing destination in southern Sichuan. 🌸Haoshang Bridge spans the Min River, connecting Lingyun Mountain and Wuyu Mountain. Wuyu Mountain, also known as "Lidui" (with Wuyu Temple, originally built in the Tang Dynasty, on its peak), is a relic of the water management project by Li Bing, the governor of Shu, over 2,000 years ago. The Mahao River was excavated at that time, giving this place both historical and geological significance. 🌸This place is perfect for a light spring hike: Wuyu Temple parking lot → Haoshang Bridge viewing platform → riverside flower path → Lidui roundabout → vegetarian lunch at Wuyu Temple (about 2–3 hours total, easy and relaxing). 🌸It's also a great place for elementary school students or artists who love outdoor sketching to find the breath of spring. 🌸If you have enough time, you can also visit the Mahao Cliff Tombs, Mahao Fishing Village, Oriental Buddha Capital, Leshan Giant Buddha, and Wuyu Temple, all within a short distance. 🌸The beach in the fishing village next to Haoshang Bridge is a great place to see the cruise ships up close, take photos, enjoy the river breeze, skip stones, catch tadpoles, and have lots of fun.😁 📝Tips: 1. **Flowering Season Alert** - Best viewing period: mid-March to early April 2. **Important Notes** - Protect the farmland: Do not trample on the flowers. Walk along the ridges or in designated areas. - Insect and sun protection: Bring mosquito repellent and a sun hat, as the UV rays are strong on sunny days. - Eco-friendly travel: Bring your own garbage bags, as there are no trash cans in the flower fields. 🌻🌿Haoshang Bridge in spring is a wonderful harmony of nature and culture. Here, you can chase the light and shadows in the sea of flowers, listen to the chanting in the ancient temple, and savor the earthly delights in the river breeze. Seize the short spring blossom season and come to Leshan for a romantic encounter with gold and green!

I have been to Leshan 10 times! 🚶‍♂🔄10 times! For me, Leshan is not just about the world-famous Great Buddha, but also a small city full of history, culture, and the hustle and bustle of urban life.🏯🎭 🚉The high-speed train goes directly to Leshan, and every visit brings new discoveries. Compared to the crowded Leshan Great Buddha, I recommend this less-traveled route to experience the history, culture, and urban life of Leshan.🚶‍♀🎒 📍Wuyou Temple→Haoshang Bridge→Mahao Cliff Tombs→Xiniu Fang→Shangzhongshun Food Street 🏞Wuyou Temple The ancient temple on the mountaintop hidden behind the Leshan Great Buddha. Built against the mountain and surrounded by water, it is far from the city's noise and offers more tranquility than the Great Buddha. Climbing up the long and secluded steps, the scenery along the way is as beautiful as a painting. Even on weekends, it's quiet and comfortable, perfect for hiking and relaxing.🚶‍♂🌳 The temple's red walls and the journey there are very photogenic, making it a paradise for photography enthusiasts.📸🔴 🚤Tips: At the entrance of the temple is the Wuyou Temple Pier, where you can first take a boat to tour the Leshan Great Buddha, then visit Wuyou Temple. The exit of the temple leads to Haoshang Bridge and Mahao Cliff Tombs, which can be visited together, and it's really not crowded! Near Xiniu Fang, you can take pictures of 3 'Leshan' road signs, and if you follow Binjiang Road, you will reach 'Guanfo Lou', where you can photograph the 'Le' on the opposite bank.📸🏞 Overall, Leshan is a city worth visiting, not only for the spectacular Great Buddha but also for the serene ancient temples, delicious food, and rich history and culture.🏞🍜🎭
