The Leshan Giant Buddha is truly a sight to behold, convincing one person after another!!!
"The great river flows east, and the Dharma comes from the west"🌊, the river across is magnificent, while the Leshan Giant Buddha has stood for a thousand years, serene and profound⛰. Here, you can feel the grandeur of the river and the benevolence of the Buddha🙏, both of which endow the Leshan Giant Buddha with a unique status and profound connotations.
📍Attraction Name: Leshan Giant Buddha
The Leshan Giant Buddha is located in Leshan City, Sichuan Province, with a history of over 1300 years⏳. It was initially initiated by the monk Haitong and took more than 90 years to complete. The Buddha is 71 meters tall, designed in a seated posture, and looks completely natural🗿.
🎈Tour Sequence
✅Enter from the South Gate
Entering from the South Gate, you will come to a staircase where you'll see a large "Buddha" character🈵, marking the official entrance to the scenic area. Ascending the steps, you'll see many inscriptions and weathered Buddha statues due to the characteristic of the red sandstone to weather easily🧗♀.
✅Touch the Buddha's Head
In about 15 to 20 minutes, you'll reach the highest point where the Buddha is located. Overlooking the Buddha's head from above is quite awe-inspiring🤯.
📷For photos, consider: touching the Buddha's head, eyebrows, nose, eyes📸
✅Visit Lingyun Temple
Lingyun Temple is said to be a temple where wishes can be made without the need to repay them, and it's reportedly very efficacious🙏.
✅Touch the Buddha's Feet
Exiting the temple, follow the Lingyun Plank Road down along the right side of the Buddha. The steps are carved along the cliff and are somewhat steep. It takes more than half an hour to walk from the top of the Buddha's head to the feet. After taking photos, ascend via the plank road on the other side🚶♀.
✅Oriental Buddha Capital
Outside the scenic area, there is a man-made attraction called "Oriental Buddha Capital," which charges a separate fee💰. It has more than 3000 replica Buddha statues, but it's optional to visit🙅♀.

🏠Accommodation
Hilton Garden Inn in the downtown area🏨, the hotel has an underground parking lot, and it's close to the shopping district. It's about 8 kilometers away from the Leshan Giant Buddha scenic area by car, which is very convenient🚗.
🍚Cuisine
Speaking of Leshan's cuisine, it's so delicious it makes you drool; Tiaojiao Beef🥩, Bobo Chicken🍗, Crispy Intestines (I had two servings!), and Sweet Skin Duck are all super tasty, and the prices are low💰. We went to Feng Yugang Tiaojiao Beef near the hotel🍽. Hotel guests can also get an 88% discount💸.
Not bad, it is worth a visit, buy a ticket, there is a battery car on the left to send it inside, the mountain is not too high, it is not difficult to climb, the only regret is the platform maintenance, can not go to the foot of the Buddha.
What a wonderful time, a huge and solemn Buddha sat firmly at the intersection of Dadu River and Lijiang River. The operation of the scenic spot should also be improved. Some attractions are not open, and some attractions are charged separately. It takes more than four hours to walk to the foot of the Buddha. It is somewhat regrettable.
Enter the south gate of the scenic spot and walk for a minute or 20 minutes to reach the Buddha head. When you board the Zero Pagoda, you will reach the highest point of the scenic spot. The scenic spot is not big. Friends who need it can find a tour guide to explain the historical allusions along the way.
After coming in, it gives people a very fresh feeling. It is really spectacular in the earth palace. The Buddha statue is lifelike. Every portrayal is really special. It is worth coming here. It will never disappoint.
I am honored to have the opportunity to visit the Leshan Giant Buddha in the off-season. Very shocking Giant Buddha. There is no queue, orderly visit, plenty of activity time, take pictures 📷 you can find your favorite location. Very worth punching in the places of interest. The unexpected harvest is that I also saw the cliff tomb. The scenery of the whole mountain is also very beautiful, a ticket 🎫 is actually visited three scenic spots. For tourists who like to understand Chinese history and culture and appreciate cultural relics, this route can be planned with the Samsungdui Museum and many museums in Chengdu.
Traveling with my family, so I didn't choose to climb the mountain, but chose to take a cruise. Tea, drinks, and snacks are all available on the boat. The viewing angle is also very good, and the time to take pictures and watch is given on the front. The river breeze is slowly, the weather is sunny, and the family sits around and enjoys tea. Very pleasant journey!
Leshan Giant Buddha Scenic Area has to get up at 7:30 in the morning to enter the scenic area. Don't worry about visiting other places first, go to the plank road and cram the Buddha's feet, so that you can enjoy the feeling of not taking a photo. The weather is very comfortable and the drizzle is simmering. Then come up and enjoy it slowly, pay attention to safety first.
The classic is superb, that is, there is a little rain on the day, there are not many people, the family is very happy, the mountain is not very high, and it is not very tired. The parking lot outside the attraction is not very good, a bit tattered, not very formal.
