Eat and Play Guide|Detailed Guide to Eating, Drinking, and Playing at Leshan Giant Buddha.
😃【Introduction】: The mountain is a Buddha, and the Buddha is a mountain. Every tourist visiting Sichuan must not miss this attraction. There is a legend about the Leshan Giant Buddha. It is said that in ancient times, there was a demon in this place that often caused storms, overturning small and large boats passing by. Monk Haitong saw this and vowed to carve a giant Maitreya statue on the cliff, which is now the Leshan Giant Buddha, hoping to rely on its boundless power to 'turn violent waves into calm flows,' reduce the water's force, and forever calm the waves.

You can take photos touching the Buddha's ears, eyebrows, and nose, each with different meanings (touch the head for good fortune, touch the ears for blessings, touch the nose for wealth, touch the eyebrows for happiness, touch the mouth for peace, and touch the feet for good luck).
🔶【Buddha Foot Platform】: The paths on both sides of the Buddha are under repair. You can go down the side paths, which are narrow, steep, and difficult to walk. Be careful on rainy days.

To visit Chengdu, I specially came to Leshan Giant Buddha. Because I took the child, I chose the cruise. The child was very happy to take the boat and eat. I also visited the Leshan Museum. Let the baby have a very meaningful 6.1 Children's Day.
I came to Leshan for a business trip. I saw this hotel evaluation on the Internet. It is also very suitable for business travelers. The warm service greetings at the front desk of the hotel give people a very warm feeling. The rooms are cleaned and comfortable. Especially the biggest feature is that the hotel also presents breakfast, lunch and dinner. This is a particularly big benefit for business travelers. If you are around the hotel, it is a food street and a commercial street. Shopping and eating food are very convenient. I like this hotel very much. I will choose this hotel next time I come on business.
From a young age, the scenery of the big Buddha in the world is really shocking. The scenery is beautiful with mountains and waters. The point is that the mountain is not high, and children can also climb.
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!
Nothing to do on weekends. I suddenly thought of Leshan Giant Buddha to play. (The following is the overall situation of the non-peak season on March 17) 1. Chengdu East, the high-speed rail takes an hour to Leshan Station. Taxi 24 yuan to the North Gate Visitor Center. North Gate (Lijiang No. 1 Bridge) is the most traditional route. Save the package at the North Gate Visitor Center, buy tickets 2. The North Gate Visitor Center to the North Gate of Leshan Giant Buddha, it takes 20-30 minutes to walk. It is recommended to take the scenic free transportation car and 5 minutes to the North Gate. (Transportation route: North Gate - Oriental Buddha Capital - South Gate) 3. Suggested route: North Gate into - Buddha Head area including Wuyou Temple, etc. - Buddha feet - Mahaoya Tomb - Wuyou Temple - South Gate out. 4. The south gate must not pay attention to the tricycle at the door, taxi. Go forward, go forward, walk to the road (5 minutes). Take the scenic spot free car, you can play the Oriental Buddha City along the way (artificial attractions, separate tickets are required)
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.
