A must-see in Leshan, Sichuan, is the exquisite cliff sculptures and national treasure-level sculptures.

🏨 Leshan Oriental Buddhist Capital ❤Reason for recommendation: This is an important part of the Leshan Giant Buddha Double Heritage Area. It was built in 1989 and has a history of more than 30 years. It has exquisite cliff statues. A national-level sculpture art... Once you see it, you will know it is worth it! 🌟Highlights: A seriously underestimated niche attraction, many people come to Leshan for the first time The Leshan Giant Buddha is a must-see, but I have little interest in the Oriental Buddhas next to the Giant Buddha. , I thought it was just a small attraction that was expanded based on the reputation of the Giant Buddha, but it is actually quite famous! Cliff statues are large and beautiful Tang-style Buddha statues carved directly on the original rocks of the mountain. This method of statue creation must be successful at one time, otherwise it will have to be done all over again. The team is led by national sculptor Liu Kaiqu to guide Sichuan American artists to create it! The word "Buddha City" was inscribed by Mr. Liu Kaiqu, which means that it brings together the essence of Buddhist statues from various countries! The largest Buddha statue in the scenic spot is the giant reclining Buddha that you will see after entering the scenic spot. Particularly eye-catching are the seated Sakyamuni Buddha in the 33-meter cave and the Medicine Buddha standing in the 51-meter cave; There are 9-meter-high stone Buddha statues of the Four Heavenly Kings, as well as a tens-meter-long relief of 800 Arhats, and Patriarch Bodhidharma in cassock, looking back eagerly... The Buddha statues are solemn, handsome, and graceful. Each statue has rich details worth admiring, and there is a wonderful historical story behind each statue! If you go to Leshan, I really recommend checking it out! 💰Per capita consumption: Tickets: 80 yuan, discounted price of 50 yuan for children and students over 65 years old. No need to bundle with Big Buddha, can be purchased separately! ⏳Play time: 1-2h Explanation: 80 yuan for a full explanation, and can be played by multiple people.
