What you can expect

Meet our knowledgeable and friendly personal guide in the lobby of your city centre hotel, then transferred by an air-conditioned vehicle to Leshan Giant Buddha(approx.2.5 hours), relax on the way and enjoy beautiful countryside view.

As the UNESCO Sites, construction of the Leshan Buddha, begun in the year 713 in the Tang Dynasty, and finished in the year 803, the statue took people more than 90 years to carve. During these years, thousands of workers had expended their efforts and wisdom on the project. As the biggest carved stone Buddha in the world, the Giant Buddha is featured in poetry, song and storey. Follow your tour guide to explore the whole area, you will view Buddha from different view.

Your first stop is the Lingyun Temple which located behind the Grand Buddha’s head. Marvel at the elaborate construction of the Buddha's coiled hair, which is made up of around 1,020 twisted buns. Walk inside and marvel at the intricate sculptures and wall designs of the temple. Then absorb panoramic views of three rivers converging prettily below.

Then, follow your guide walk down approximately 30 minutes towards the left side of the Grand Buddha. When you reach the bottom, gasp at the 233-foot (71-meter) height of the largest carved Buddha in the entire world and capture fantastic photographs of the sacred site. (During the peak season the line might too long, then you will skip this part)

Finally, you will take a cruise of the river for the panoramic view of Giant Buddha.

After lunch in the local restaurant, you will be transferred to your hotel in Chengdu.
