| One-day tour in Leshan. Arrive at Leshan Station at 9:00 and take a taxi to Dongda Street Haihuiyuan Shaomai. There are many people waiting in line. If you have a companion, you must order by yourself and take a seat by yourself. Fresh meat siu mai suits the taste of the general public. Crab roe and emerald shrimp are a bit unique and worth trying. I don’t know why my friends and I feel that their dipping sauce is a bit bitter. At first I thought it was the crab roe siu mai that was bitter, but later I found that it was not bitter without the dipping sauce. My friend said that adding some vinegar can adjust the bitterness 9:40 A big bowl of sago for 10 bucks! The portion is really big, I was full after eating it. I recommend the 6-yuan mango double skin milk. It is big and delicious. There is a flower shop next to the store. There are several kittens in it. They are not afraid of people and are very cute. The owner of the shop is also very enthusiastic and let us play with the cats and take pictures. 10:30-11:30 Stroll along the river 11:30 Buy sweet-skinned duck at Zhao Yazi, 85 yuan for a whole duck The big portion of Jiaojiao beef at Niuhonghong is very good. There is a second floor with windows and air conditioning. The weather was quite hot, so I stayed in the store until 14:00 before leaving. You can go to the Leshan Giant Buddha in the afternoon. Adult ticket is 80 yuan/person, student ticket is 40 yuan/person. You need to queue up to climb the mountain, which takes a long time. You can see the head of the Buddha up close. The boat ride costs 70 yuan per person and takes about 20 minutes to go around the Buddha. Across the river, 0 yuan. The tour guide "Winter Swimming Square" can see the head of the Buddha from a distance. There are many uncles swimming in the square, and you can also take photos by the river 16:30 Walk along Binjiang Road to Zhanggongqiao Snack Street. Navigate to "Yingzi Fried" or "Diba Fried". Because Diba was too crowded, we chose Yingzi. Yingzi’s rice cake is delicious! Not mushy or hard, the taste is very soft and the spiciness is just right. I didn't go wrong when I went to Yingzi. It's a good choice for a fried food shop 18:00 Ju Po Po's Shaved Ice. I had Tiramisu Shaved Ice. 22 yuan for a large portion. Suitable for 2-3 people who have just finished a meal. It's a big bowl. I didn't disappoint you. I had the glutinous rice cake for snacks. It costs 15 yuan per catty and about 8-9 yuan per piece. It is not as sweet as I imagined. It has a light filling taste, but the overall taste is relatively dry. I suggest that good friends buy one box to taste it. Walking along the river at night with good friends singing along is so romantic Perfect day trip to Leshan

Leshan is really too delicious, can't finish eating at all. Went with bestie and boyfriend, a group of seven. Each person buys a different dish, so we can taste a bit of every delicious thing. It's perfect for showing off Leshan with your bestie and her boyfriend. 【Transportation】 Chongqing to Leshan 1. High-speed train and self-driving take about the same time. 2. We drove there (it's better to take a taxi to the food street, not so easy to park, but if you're going to sights like the Leshan Giant Buddha, it's much more convenient to drive yourself). 3. You must drive up the mountain to the Leshan Giant Buddha, parking lots around charge a fee of 20, there are many private parking lots on the roadside hustling for customers, don't rush or bother with them, just follow the road up the mountain, there are plenty of parking lots, and don't park at the tourist center because it's really far from there (I will provide a navigation route map in a later article, follow it to get to the Buddha's head the shortest way). 4. If someone offers to take you up the mountain, don't think they're being kind, they just want to charge you for guiding or for you to eat at their restaurant. 【Accommodation】 We stayed at Home Inn Neo The environment and condition are in their uniform style, personally, I think the comfort and cost-effectiveness are very high. The location is central. There's a Sichuan-Chongqing mahjong event, and there's a mahjong parlor connected to the hotel just downstairs. But remember to book in advance for the afternoon of holidays (otherwise there will be no spots, personally tested, asked for the price in the afternoon, thought it was available anytime, forgot to book for the evening). There are many places to eat around. A ten-minute walk to Zhanggong Bridge food street. 【Travel and Food Itinerary】 Day1: Breakfast - Zhanggong Bridge - Back to hotel to rest - Jiaxing Road - Orlando Shopping and Food Street - Sichuan-Chongqing event back to hotel A day focused on eating and drinking. (Zhanggong Bridge It has a relatively weak commercial atmosphere. *Deaf Uncle's Candied Haws (below the West Bank Hotel) *Ji Liu Niang's Sweet Skin Duck (indeed very sweet) *Di Baba's Fried Food (good for photos) *Feng Si Niang's Beef with Tiptoe (nothing special) (Jiaxing Road *Not much to shop, not highly recommended. *Wolf Tooth Potato (very delicious) *Mian Mian Ice (seems like Leshan really likes this kind of ice) (Orlando *Chang Yao Fried Skewers (grasshoppers and silkworm pupae are really crispy) *Emei Snow (local drink, feels like Sprite with added Fanta) *Sai's Taste Bobo Chicken (I like the sand-flipping jelly) *Street Wolf Tooth Potato (with a super variety of side dishes to choose from, sour and spicy is amazing) *Spicy Hot Pot Street *Guoba Mantou Day2: Breakfast - Leshan Giant Buddha - Shang Zhong Shun - Back to Chongqing (Leshan Giant Buddha 1. Transportation tips mentioned above. 2. Leshan's cultural and creative shops are worth visiting (compared many, the red couplet fridge magnet is the most cost-effective). 3. Enter from the East Gate and exit from the East Gate, you can't get out, you have to go out from the road behind the Buddha hall but it's not far. 4. There are many restaurants on the way up and down the mountain at the entrance, no need to worry about not having food around. Shang Zhong Shun is very close to the Leshan Giant Buddha And it's near the river, there's an old man winter swimming You can have a distant view of the Giant Buddha Commercial atmosphere is strong, most food options *Lei Si Niang's Egg Baked Cake (must eat at this place, the cream sinks right in *Ye Po Po's Bobo Chicken (tasty and well-flavored, doesn't sell spices, even packed a portion to take away *Paper Wrapped Shaomai *Sweet Skin Duck *River Eel Threads Mainly featuring food and fun for a weekend getaway
