The store looks clean and hygienic, the sweet-skin duck tastes very good, the braised duck meat has a strong aroma, the duck skin is sweet but not greasy, it is worthy of being an old brand in Leshan. The clerks are very enthusiastic, and you can feel the upright character of the people of Leshan!

No. 8 of Must-Visit Restaurants in Leshan

The decoration inside the store is relatively simple and fresh, with an open kitchen, which looks clean and bright. The style similar to that of a simple modern coffee shop attracts many young people and tourists from other places. There were still many people when I entered the store. I bought tofu pudding, cakes, and drunken tofu pudding. Wait on the second floor.

When the tofu pudding was served and placed in front of me, I didn&#39;t want to leave instantly. I decided to eat it at the store. The spoon stirred in the bowl, and the fragrance came out. I was afraid that my friends would wait for a long time in the Qiaojiao Beef Restaurant, so I ate it quickly. It was scalded, but it was delicious. The taste of tofu pudding and the fragrance of the seasoning were very comfortable.

I took the cake back to the Qiaojiao Beef Restaurant to eat, and I didn&#39;t feel deeply impressed. After eating the Qiaojiao Beef and the fried Yingzi, I ate the drunken tofu pudding lying on the bed in the hotel. It was more comfortable and a perfect midnight snack dessert.

No. 2 of Light Bites in Leshan

A very popular steamed dumpling shop, the shop should have a long history. Basically, you have to wait for a table at noon. Many tourists come here to eat. I also saw a table of foreigners. The steamed dumpling is really amazing. The meat filling is really impeccable. After it is steamed, the taste is really delicious. The chicken soup of the chicken soup silver thread noodles is very fresh, and the noodles are a little ordinary. While it is delicious, the service is not satisfactory. Basically everyone has a very arrogant attitude, as if they have made a lot of money. This is really disappointing.

No. 5 of Light Bites in Leshan

I felt the hotel&#39;s dedication and service. As soon as I checked in, the staff added me on WeChat and sent me some reference guides for traveling and eating in Leshan. The hotel&#39;s breakfast was also very satisfying to me, especially the Bobo Chicken and Leshan Siew Mai. The taste of the Siew Mai really amazed me, and the Bobo Chicken was much better than that of Jiujiu Tofu Brain!

The signature tofu pudding is salty, the beef is very fragrant, and the vermicelli is the base. I like this snack very much.

🚄Visiting the Leshan Giant Buddha and savoring Leshan cuisine are the key to a trip to Leshan! This two-day, one-night itinerary perfectly combines the best of the attractions with authentic Leshan flavors. No need to plan, just follow the flow!

📅&nbsp;DAY&nbsp;1: In-depth Tour of the Leshan Giant Buddha + Foodie Rush at Xuedao Street

Morning: Immersive Viewing of the Leshan Giant Buddha

🕙&nbsp;09:00-12:00
For a direct visit to the Leshan Giant Buddha, we recommend two options: To save time, choose the &quot;Boat Viewing Buddha Tour.&quot; Hop on a boat from the Wuyou Temple Pier and capture panoramic views of the Buddha and the &quot;Giant Sleeping Buddha&quot; in just one hour, without the climb. For a closer experience, choose the &quot;Shore Excursion.&quot; Enter through the north gate of the scenic area, walk the Nine-Curve Plank Road down to the Buddha&#39;s feet, and stroll along the Buddhist Corridor for breathtaking reflections. Don&#39;t miss the photo gallery by the river&mdash;every snap will be a true travel masterpiece.
✨&nbsp;Tip: Book your tickets online in advance; during peak season, the boat lines are fast, so choose this option first.

Lunch: Xuedao Street&#39;s Long-Known Cross-legged Beef

🕙 12:30-14:00
Walk 10 minutes to Niu Hong Hong Cross-legged Beef (7-11 Xuedao Street, 50 RMB per person). This old-fashioned restaurant offers a stunning view of the Giant Buddha across the river. The broth, made with beef bones and dozens of herbs, is incredibly delicious. Order the Cross-legged Beef and Shaozi Blood Curd. Afterward, stroll along the riverside to enjoy the breeze, perfect for digestion and recharging your energy.

Afternoon: Enjoy a food-and-drinking tour and discover authentic local snacks.

🕙 15:00-17:00

1. Yilong Shaomai (2 Xuedao Street, 18 RMB per person): A Leshan local&#39;s gourmet breakfast spot. Their handmade steamed dumplings are generously filled with meat, shrimp, and beef, and are incredibly flavorful. Dip them in cooked chili oil and vinegar, and you&#39;ll be spoiled for choice.

2. Old Jiazhou Leshan Cuisine&middot;Linjiang Town Shredded Eel (59 Xuedao Street, 50 RMB per person): This hidden gem on the street offers distinctly shredded Linjiang eel, a spicy, fresh, and flavorful dish without any fishy smell. Add a side of noodles to the soup for a truly divine experience. They also offer traditional sweet and sour crispy fish, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside&mdash;a rare find these days.

Dinner: Jiaxiang Road Spicy Feast

🕙 6:30 PM - 8:30 PM
Take a taxi to the Jiaxiang Road Farmers&#39; Market and start with the Soul-Stirring Bobo Chicken (35 RMB per person). The complimentary, disposable red oil broth is incredibly fragrant. The cold-mixed white-slaughtered chicken and boneless chicken feet are must-try options&mdash;a fantastic value. If you&#39;re feeling spicy, head to the nearby Le Xueshan Mabian Chao Shou&middot;Xueshan Bing (25 RMB per person). The dry-mixed wontons are flavorful, and the mango twig and coconut ice cream is made with fresh fruit for a slightly sweet, non-greasy treat. You can also try the double-mixed ice jelly and jelly cake&mdash;a local favorite.

Late-night snack: Finish with a smoky barbecue.

🕙 9:30 PM - 11:00 PM
Go to Xiaofei BBQ (40 RMB per person). The skewers grilled fresh over charcoal are the classic Leshan style. The Mabian stinky tofu is cooked in a honeycomb-like shape, melting in your mouth. The garlic-flavored pork ribs are finger-licking delicious. While the atmosphere isn&#39;t particularly smoky, the flavors are incredibly good, and there&#39;s often a line.

📅 Day 2: Slow Tour of Suji Ancient Town + Souvenir Shopping

Morning: Explore the Ancient Town and Eat Traditional Rice Cakes

🕙 9:30 AM - 12:00 PM
Take the bus to Suji Ancient Town. The thousand-year-old bluestone streets are truly captivating. While strolling through the ancient bridges and witnessing intangible cultural heritage crafts, be sure to stop by Qian Dehua&#39;s Traditional Rice Cake (on the main street, 8 RMB per person). Freshly made glutinous rice cakes are soft and chewy, coated in soybean flour and red sugar syrup. They&#39;re sweet but not overpowering, and even stretch when eaten hot. Each bite is filled with the flavor of home, a taste Leshan residents have grown up with.

Lunch: Old Community Hot Pot is a crowd pleaser

🕙 12:30-14:30
Go to Gaodengzi Hot Pot (60 yuan per person), a 10-year-old community hot pot in Leshan. Each dish is under 29 yuan. The fresh tripe and tender beef are incredibly fresh, and the service is friendly. It&#39;s a place where Leshan residents flock to enjoy the local flavor.

Afternoon: Souvenir shopping + return trip

🕙 15:00-16:30
Finally, visit Jingjinger Sweet Skin Duck (589 Jiaxiang Road, 28 yuan per jin). Their fresh ducks are braised and fried daily, resulting in crispy skin without a greasy glaze and firm, unsmellable meat. Buy one as a souvenir or share it with friends. Tip: Choose accommodation near Jiadingfang, close to the Giant Buddha, for nighttime viewing and easy access to restaurants.

This two-day itinerary is relaxed and not rushed, so beginners can just copy the instructions!
