2025 Leshan Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in March)

When visiting the Buddhist holy site of Mount Emei in Sichuan, be sure to take a boat trip to see the Leshan Giant Buddha. This enormous stone Maitreya Buddha, located at the confluence of three rivers, is truly magnificent and is the tallest Buddha in the world! An ancient saying goes, 'Worship at Mount Emei in the morning, and at Lingyun in the afternoon.' The Leshan Giant Buddha faces Leshan City across the river, and the scenic area consists of Lingyun Mountain, the Mahao Cliff Tomb, Wuyou Mountain, and the Giant Reclining Buddha. You can explore the area on foot, but the best way to see the full view of the Buddha is by taking a boat trip on the river. When I visited, the weather was misty. Although I couldn't capture the scenery on a sunny day, the overcast weather was quite cool. However, be sure to choose the right season for the boat trip, as navigation is not possible during the dry season. It's recommended to find a guide who understands Buddhist history; otherwise, you might miss out on the deeper meanings behind the sights.

[Star] The Jinkou River Grand Canyon was rated as one of the "most beautiful canyons in China" by National Geographic. It is the only water highway in Sichuan. So far, foreigners are still prohibited from entering. It is located at the junction of Leshan City, Ya'an City and Liangshan Prefecture. [Tulip][Tulip]We drove from Hanyuan to Leshan and passed this most beautiful road. [Tulip][Tulip][Tulip]On the way, you will pass Yunduanrenjia Yisheng Village, the first village in the canyon. This village was moved down from the top of a cliff. Now there are many farmhouses where you can stay and eat. The villagers say that there are many people in summer. Down the river is the emerald green Dadu River, and the mountains are lush and green. How can it not be beautiful? [○][○][○]There is a Railways Museum in the village. It is free and anyone with a mainland China ID card can enter. It tells the story of the railway troops from their establishment to their disappearance from history after the founding of the People's Republic of China. It also shows pictures of the railway troops who braved difficulties and obstacles and participated in the construction of national railway trunk lines such as the Qinghai-Tibet Railway and the Chengdu-Kunming Railway. The design is very immersive and makes one feel respect for the soldiers, especially this section of the Chengdu-Kunming Railway. More than 2,100 soldiers gave their lives to build this difficult route with many tunnels! [RedHeart][RedHeart][RedHeart]Until now, there is still a green train No. 5619 passing through here every day, which is convenient for people in the mountains. You can get on the train at Guancunba Station, the only railway station built in a tunnel in my country. The minimum fare is two yuan. If you have time, you can experience it. Starting from Hanyuan, you can enjoy the scenery on both sides of the Dadu River passing through the canyon. Salute to the Railway Troops! [!][!][!]Continue forward and you will see the Tongxin Bridge, which connects the Yi and Han peoples of Liangshan. On the opposite mountain is the Yi village. From the bridge you can see the spectacular water highway, which is very photogenic! [OrangeHeart][OrangeHeart][OrangeHeart]A section of the water highway in the canyon has recently been broken and is under repair. We went down the mountain to the entrance of the canyon. According to the staff, it will be repaired by May next year. By then, you can take a cruise to enjoy the scenery of the Dadu River Canyon, or you can drive in for free. The experience should be better! [!][!][!]The recently popular Gulu Village is also here. It is known as the "Village on the Cliff of China". Hiking enthusiasts can reach it by following the "One Line Sky" navigation. We didn't go there because we were short of time, but we must go there again if we have the chance! If you go to Leshan or Hanyuan, it is recommended to visit this free and spectacular Grand Canyon, you will not be disappointed!

Friends who must go down can call the scenic spot management office for consultation). In short, there is no time limit on the mountain. You can enjoy it, but the angle for taking pictures is a bit strange. When leaving, it is recommended to exit through the east gate or south gate. There are various tour guides at the door, and you can bargain. We tried our best to negotiate 60, and you can choose according to your needs. 2️⃣You can see the whole view of the Big Buddha by boat. It is relatively close to the other side of the river. When you get to the Big Buddha, the boat will stop for a while and give you time to take pictures. The photo taking effect is better, but the time is fixed. Oriental Buddha Capital: A later-built attraction, you can get there directly from the Big Buddha. If you are interested in sculptures or related culture, you can go in and take a look. You can also take photos. The ticket is 80. I don’t recommend it. After you come out of the scenic spot, there is a car that can take you to the entrance or the bus station. The price is 20 (it seems to be determined based on the distance), but the location is not too far. If you are tired, you can take a seat and negotiate the price. If you are strong, you can just navigate out. Transportation: Chengdu East-Leshan Station, duration is about 45 minutes, fare is 54 yuan. When you arrive at Leshan Station, you can queue up and take a taxi directly. It’s cheap and convenient. The whole journey costs about 25-30 yuan. It’s highly recommended! ! If you take public transportation, you can take bus K1, get off at [Guichengshan Station] and navigate to the north gate. For Didi, the pick-up point is not easy to locate, and the price is around 26. ❗Key point: Choose the taxi terminal [No. 6 Parking Lot No. 2 Door]. This is the door with the shortest walking distance, so you can save a lot of walking. Opening hours: Mountain climbing: 7:30-18:30 in summer (from October 8 to March 31 in winter, the time is 8:00-17:30) Cruise: 7:30-18:00 in summer (8:00-17:00 in winter) The last time is the latest admission time. Tour time: about 3-4 hours. ps: Food in the scenic area is more expensive than outside. A 3-yuan meal outside is generally 6-8 yuan. You can bring it by yourself in advance. Prepare toilet water in summer. You don’t need a particularly long time to visit Leshan Giant Buddha, and various snack streets can be arranged later.

Soak in the steaming private soup, listen to the Minjiang River beating the river bank, unload the tired body of the year in the steam, and find the familiar original state of life. 📍Leshan Mountain Shi Boutique Homestay

Wonderful experience in Sichuan. You can take the high-speed train or drive to the location from Chengdu. Be sure to not go on a holiday! There are two parts of the park. The Giant Buddha and the Oriental Buddha Park, and you need to purchase tickets for each. It’s worth going to the 2nd park to see the Pharmacist Buddha, 10,000 Buddhas Cave, and the Lying Down Buddha! Be ready for some stairs, some long lines, and sunshine on days with good weather. I heard the boat tour also has a wonderful view!#LeshanGiantBuddha #Leshan #Sichuan #giantbuddha #awesomepic

The Leshan Giant Buddha was carved into the cliff at the confluence of the three rivers (Minjiang, Daduhe, and Qingyijiang), so to get up close and see it, you have to climb up and down a steep cliff. It's quite thrilling!! You can get a good sense of the real size of the statue because you can see it up close. After the thrilling experience, you can walk along the cliff and reach the finish line. The problem here is that you end up quite far away, on the opposite side of the starting line. At this point, you have no choice but to go along with the movements of the Chinese people around you. As expected, there was a bus stop and we were able to return to the entrance where we started!!

Leshan Buddha attraction was amazing and beautiful to see. It was very easy to get to after doing my research. There is a train from Chengdu east that takes around 1hr to Leshan. Once in Leshan I went the scenic route and got the bus from the bus station next to the train station. The bus K1 takes you there in 30mins, when you get there it a 10min walk to the entrance to the North gate. You can buy your ticket there and no need to prebook just have your ID. The walk from the north Gate is quicker but a lot of stairs to get to the statue but worth it. Great day out 👣#2023travelwish #bucketlistreboot#chinatravel

Pictures speak louder than words ✌️ Getting There - train from Chengdu (1.5h), day trip Attractions - Giant Buddha, scenery around the river Food & Restaurants - local options all around

Lokasi bertempat di Lot 898, Resevoir, Off, Jalan Air Kuning, Taiping.. tempat neh lebih terutama kepada bekeluarga rakan2 yg nk tempat tenang2 dan chill dan boleh ber ootd.. Buka pda pukul 9am sehingga 9pm.. yg ingin membawak ank untuk melihat ekosistem, di syorkan bawak☺️

Best option is to get a hotel nearby if it's not a daily trip. We had lucky to be in one small hotel with personal valley service. Parking is convenient and cheap on spot. Go in the afternoon just before sunset. Once you buy tickets, pass gate and 20-30mins of climbing. During summer with hot weather and humidity isn't so fun. Cicadas doesn't make it any easier. Also, some of places inside were closed like Cave-Thomb-Museum and food vendors. Carving this amazing statue is really mesmerizing. Plenty of time to do some selfies. Make sure you bring water and snacks. Left side was closed, but looked interesting with some small openings in rocks. Have fun. #cicadas #summervacation #awesomepic #leshan #buddha
