Escape the city for a perfect day trip combining breathtaking scenery, rich history, local flavors, and ancient charm — all with hassle-free hotel pickup from Chengdu.
Your adventure begins at 7:00 AM with convenient pickup directly from your Chengdu hotel (within the 3rd Ring Road). After a comfortable drive, arrive at the world-famous Leshan Giant Buddha around 9:00 AM. Standing 71 meters tall and carved into the cliff over 1,300 years ago, this UNESCO World Heritage Site will leave you in awe. Follow the scenic walking route from the Buddha's head to his feet, taking around 2 hours. While some stair sections are steep, the views up close are absolutely unforgettable.
By 11:30 AM, head to Leshan Food Street, where you'll explore a vibrant local food scene. Your guide will introduce a variety of authentic Sichuan snacks and help you order like a local. The cost of food is not included, so you're free to choose and taste based on your preferences.
In the afternoon (around 1:30 PM), continue your journey to the beautiful Huanglongxi Ancient Town, a 1,700-year-old riverside village known for its traditional architecture, peaceful streams, and cobblestone streets. Spend your time wandering the old alleys, playing in the shallow waters, enjoying more snacks, or simply soaking in the timeless atmosphere.
At 3:30 PM, start your return drive back to Chengdu. You'll be comfortably dropped off at your hotel around 4:30 PM, ending your unforgettable full-day tour.
