Leshan, hidden in southwestern Sichuan, is renowned for the Leshan Giant Buddha and Mount Emei, both UNESCO World Heritage Sites. It is a travel paradise where nature and culture blend harmoniously. Here is a carefully crafted Leshan travel guide for you: I. Quick View of Attractions 1. Leshan Giant Buddha: With a majestic height of 71m, it is the tallest stone-carved Buddha statue in the world. You can climb from the North Gate and descend along the winding plank road to the Buddha's feet, enjoying a panoramic view of the confluence of three rivers. Take a boat trip on the river to admire the scenery, with the most charming light in the evening. The mountain climbing ticket is CNY 80, and the cruise ticket is CNY 120 (the night tour is even more stunning). During holidays, the queue for the plank road is long, so it is recommended to arrive before 8am. 2. Mount Emei (30 km from Leshan): Here, the sea of clouds and the Buddha's light at the Golden Summit are like a dream, and wild Tibetan macaques appear in the ecological monkey area. For a one-day tour, you can take a scenic bus to Leidongping and transfer to the cable car to the Golden Summit. For an in-depth tour, you can hike to Qingyin Pavilion - Ecological Monkey Area on the first day, stay at Leidongping, and return after climbing to the top the next day. Tickets are CNY 160, and sightseeing buses are CNY 90 (charged in sections). 3. Lesser-known attractions: The modern stone carving art of the Oriental Buddha Capital and the huge reclining Buddha in the underground palace are visually stunning (ticket price: CNY 80); the Jianwei Jiayang Steam Train travels through the blooming sea of rapeseed flowers in spring, and the journey takes 1.5 hours. II. Delicacies 1. Must-eat delicacies: For Qiaojiao Beef, "Feng Si Niang" and "Gu Shi Xiang" are highly recommended; the crispy and tender Sweetened Crispy Duck from "Zhao Yazi" and "Wang Hao'er Ji Liu Niang"; the authentic Bobo Chicken from "Ye Popo" and "Huang Ji Rou"; the "Jiu Jiu Tofu Brain" in Niuhua Town is served with steamed beef with rice flour and crispy pork, offering a rich taste; and the pork belly and chicken cartilage from Changyao Good Luck Fried Food (Wang Hedi's old shop) should not be missed. 2. Food streets: Zhanggong Bridge is a popular spot for tourists; Jiaxing Road and Dongda Street are the favorites of locals, where you can try Xiaodou Haitang and Jiumei Chicken Feet. III. Convenient Transportation 1. External transportation: From Chengdu to Leshan, the high-speed train takes only 1 hour, and the bus takes 2 hours (departing from Xinnanmen Station); from Mount Emei to Leshan, the high-speed train takes only 11 minutes, and there is also a direct scenic bus (about 1 hour). 2. City transportation: There are tourist bus lines to the scenic spots (such as K1 to the Giant Buddha); the taxi starting price is CNY 5, and it costs about CNY 15 from the city center to the Giant Buddha. IV. Accommodation Recommendations 1. Leshan City: For quality, you can choose "Leshan Chanyi Hotel" (near the Giant Buddha); for high cost performance, the B&Bs near Zhanggong Bridge are a good choice. 2. Mount Emei area: If you want to wait for the sunrise at the Golden Summit, stay at the "Golden Summit Hotel" (reservations are required in advance); at the foot of the mountain, you can choose the "Le Meridien Hotel" or the B&Bs in the Baoguo Temple area. V. Itinerary Planning 1. One-day quick tour: Leshan Giant Buddha in the morning (mountain climbing + boat trip), Qiaojiao Beef for lunch, Wuyou Temple or Oriental Buddha Capital in the afternoon, and a night tour of the Giant Buddha in the evening (light show). 2. Two-day classic tour: Leshan Giant Buddha + downtown food on the first day, and Mount Emei Golden Summit + Qingyin Pavilion on the second day. 3. Three-day in-depth tour: On the third day, go to Jianwei to take the Jiayang Steam Train, or visit Luocheng Ancient Town (boat-shaped ancient street). VI. Gentle Reminder 1. The Jiǔqū plank road of the Giant Buddha is narrow, so those who are afraid of heights or have poor physical strength are advised to choose a boat trip to see the Buddha. 2. Mount Emei has a high altitude, so you need to bring a windproof jacket, and remember to prepare rain gear during the rainy season. 3. Leshan cuisine is spicy, so those with sensitive stomachs should prepare medicines in advance. 4. March - May (when the azaleas of Mount Emei are in full bloom) and September - November (when the autumn is crisp and refreshing) are the best seasons to travel. Leshan brings together natural wonders, Buddhist culture, and Sichuan cuisine, making it suitable for a slow-paced and in-depth tour. Plan ahead and enjoy the unique charm of this "Buddhist Fairyland"!

Mount Emei traps: don’t buy incense at the foot of the mountain, Golden Summit incense prices are transparent (20-100 RMB). Don’t show valuables in the monkey area, hold cameras and phones tightly to avoid monkey snatching. Food tips: Avoid touristy Qiaojiao Beef shops, local alleys are more authentic. Bobo Chicken is charged by skewer count, confirm prices in advance to avoid overcharging. Transport note: Use Didi for taxis in Leshan to avoid detours. Mount Emei sightseeing bus last run at 6 PM; if missed, you must stay on the summit (expensive and basic conditions). Conclusion: Leshan’s charm lies in that it can draw you for a giant Buddha and a fairy mountain, yet capture your stomach with a bowl of Qiaojiao Beef and a skewer of fried snacks. There’s no hustle and bustle of big cities here, only river breezes, lingering Buddhist chants, and the lively smoke and fire of street life. Bring this guide and spend three days understanding Leshan’s “Buddhist calm” and “spicy heat.”

## At Qianwei Xinxing Century Hotel: A Disenchanting Experience About "Standards" Pushing through the glass revolving doors of Xinxing Century Hotel, the blast of air conditioning carries an indescribable scent—not mustiness, nor artificial air freshener, but a complex blend of disinfectant, carpet fibers, and the accumulated odors of countless guests. This aroma serves as an invisible business card, announcing this as a typical business hotel in China's third-tier cities. The lobby's crystal chandelier strains to create an illusion of luxury, while the slightly pilled fabric of the front desk staff's uniforms silently exposes this effort. My room is on the 12th floor. The elevator bears a tarnished bronze plaque proclaiming "Four-Star Standard," oxidized black from years of touching. Here, "standard" presents a paradoxical duality—it's both a goal to pursue and an unattainable myth. Every item in the room tells this contradiction: the sheets are pristine yet stiff from overwashing; the bathroom fixtures gleam but are slightly askew; the TV is large enough but always has a few channels with poor reception. These details paint an accurate portrait of China's second and third-tier city hotel industry—infinitely approaching "standards" yet always maintaining a subtle distance. The hotel's breakfast buffet is the best stage to observe this "standardization performance." Chefs wear regulation-height hats, steam trays sit at precise intervals, and the food selection strictly follows the four-star hotel checklist: from overcooked oatmeal to suspiciously colored "fresh-squeezed" juice, from shriveled bacon to perpetually dense waffles. Business travelers move through with practiced ease, filling standard-sized plates like performing a ritual—they know this is about sustenance, not culinary pleasure. Here, "standard" isn't a quality guarantee but an emptied-out performance script. Interestingly, this standardization performance reflects a collective anxiety in China's urbanization process. Places like Xinxing Century Hotel essentially mimic the forms of first-tier city luxury hotels while failing to replicate their service essence. Like an awkward imitator in an ill-fitting designer suit, every detail reveals discomfort. Yet this very discomfort creates authenticity—it honestly shows the awkward position of second/third-tier cities in modernization: yearning to join global hotel standards while constrained by local clientele, management levels, and spending power. At night, the view from my window reveals Qianwei County's skyline—a few tall buildings standing lonely among low-rise structures, mirroring this hotel's position in the local industry. The AC hums rhythmically, the card-activated power slot flickers occasionally, composing a nocturne about "developing" status. I suddenly realize this hotel's true value may lie not in meeting standards, but in honestly displaying those in-between states of China's urbanization. During checkout, the front desk clerk mechanically says "We look forward to your next visit" while glancing at the room status chart behind. This moment perfectly encapsulates my stay—a standardized performance everyone understands, made precious by its imperfections. Xinxing Century Hotel may never become a true four-star hotel, but this eternal "almost-there" quality makes it an unexpectedly excellent sample for observing China's urbanization.

#discoverchina 👨👩👧👦 A parent-child trip you shouldn't miss! Take the world’s only operational narrow-gauge passenger steam train—it’s definitely worth seeing! But one big tip: make sure to buy a round-trip ticket! What you need to know before the ride: 1️⃣ Ticket is for a one-way trip (about 40 minutes) with return tickets available—be sure to book the full round trip! Along the way, there are several stops and performances like steam shows. You'll be prompted when it’s time to get off for photos. 2️⃣ Visit during canola flower season for the best and most scenic photos 🌼 3️⃣ Call ahead! Ask staff where to buy tickets for the specific time slot you want. We arrived at 12pm, but were told the 1pm tickets were no longer available at the main ticket office. We had to go to the final stop at Bajiao Valley to buy short-distance tickets and paid 88 yuan for a ride there (it's very far and mountainous). 4️⃣ If you’re nearby, driving is highly recommended—the area is very remote and mountainous, and driving makes it much more convenient. 5️⃣ Nearby attractions worth checking out: Huangcun Coal Mine: A real former mine now open for touring—feels like exploring the center of the Earth! 🌌 Tree Fern Canyon: Great for little dinosaur fans and kids who enjoy a bit of hiking 🦕🌿 Dongfanghong Square: Near the train terminal, with old buildings and a Mao Zedong-era stage—nice for a walk if you have extra time 🏛️ 📍 Location: Qianwei County #travel #naturalwonders

| Niuhua Xiaolaowu Hot Pot is the best tonight, no objections. 🌆 I went to the small town of Jianwei under Leshan for the weekend, looking for all kinds of treasure food, it was really fun 😂. Go to the old city center Longchi Square for food, the lively night market is fun to stroll around, ♨️ famous snacks such as Liuji Beef Kabob, Yang San Bobo Chicken, Chuan Chuan Xiang, Laofuye Qiaojiao Beef are all nearby, the food stalls on the square are also one next to the other, the fried Chuan Chuan Xiang is so fragrant that it makes you drool... 🌶️ There are also people dancing on the square, the relaxed feeling is great, ah, the nightlife of the people of Jianwei is really wonderful! 😜 👅 As a foodie from Chengdu, I have eaten a lot of famous food in Leshan, and it is not easy to impress us. First, I went to get two Liuji Beef Kabobs 🌮, I bought beef and fat intestine flavors, although it is said to have a history of more than ten or twenty years, I feel that the filling and powder flavor is not outstanding, it is a bit dry, and the unique pepper and sesame flavor of Leshan is not enough 😕, it is a failure. 🌟 At this time, the "protagonist" is on stage! Go and try the Niuhua Xiaolaowu Hot Pot, which is ranked first on the hot list on the other side of the square. I thought there would be a queue on the weekend, but I didn't expect that there would still be a place after 8 o'clock, which was great 😺 🎯 To be honest, there is no environment to speak of here, just sit on the small bench on the street and start eating. The vegetable skewers are self-selected, and the meat dishes are served by the shop in a scoop. The skewers from Niuhua Town, Leshan are really good. The pot bottom is pure chicken soup with various spices, and it is very different from the hot pot 🔥 skewers I have eaten in Chengdu and Chongqing. There is no butter flavor and it is not very spicy, but the flavor is so strong! It's really fragrant and half the street. 🌶️ Beef is a must for hot pot. The sauce with a bit of sauce flavor is also unique, it is cooked as soon as it is blanched, and it is tender and smooth in the mouth, full of spicy and fresh fragrance. It's too delicious. I can easily show off 100 skewers of such delicious beef skewers. 😌, In addition, the palm of the hand, the waist piece, and the bamboo shoots are also good, recommended 🉑 The oil dish in the dipping dish here is also unique. The large plate, sesame oil with coriander, chili, green onion, peanuts, garlic, etc., and the cooked oil sea pepper are full of fragrance, it is refreshing and refreshing, and it feels delicious even if it is dipped in the sole of the shoe! 😋 ❇️ No wonder it is a super popular old shop, the local hot list Nanbo Wan is not a false name. Ice beer, fried rice, ice powder, and meat and vegetable skewers are all 50 cents. The whole family opened their belly and finally ate 105 yuan. It is really satisfying and affordable. The happiness brought by the tip of the tongue is worth a thousand dollars, and it is worth coming again next time! 6⃣️6⃣️6⃣️

🚴🏽‍♀️For the weekend, the small city under Mount Hing Lek is going to have an aggressive 4+2 cycling trip. Today, we rode along the right bank of the Minjiang River outside the city. The scenery is great! 💥 🛤【Transportation & Routes】 The small town is not big, from any hotel casual ride within 2 kilometers must be to the riverside, you can navigate the Heron Island Square, along the river greenway is easy to find, along the waterside down to keep walking is right! The whole journey is about [5 kilometers], which is not too strenuous for a novice cyclist! 😜 🏞 [Scenery along the way] Along the way, the scenery was simply amazing! The world in front of me as I ride in Shunjiang becomes particularly spacious, and my worries disappear. The reeds and weeds by the river are swaying in the wind🌾, as if they are greeting me. The vast river is full of waves, and the river is flowing endlessly, which makes people's hearts surging! 😃 Cycling through the port of Gaowei, there are barges 🛥 moored on the pier on the other side, swaying gently with the river. Some of the ships were loading and unloading, busy and orderly; When I rode to see the Minjiang Bridge, I was really shocked! That majestic figure straddles the river, and there is an endless stream of vehicles🚗. Looking at the bridge in the distance, feeling its grandeur, I couldn't help but take a lot of photos📷. 🎣 [Interesting Insights] There were few people on the flat road along the way, and the only thing I saw was the fisherman who was never air force. I have to say, the local anglers are really hardworking! He even rowed an inflatable rubber boat to Jiangxin Chau for fishing🎣. This operation is simply 666! For fishing, they can really do anything, Ruisbai! 🤣 💪 [Road Condition Description] This section of the road is also a newly repaired river embankment, which is as wide as a double carriageway. There are newly built greenways further up the River Embankment. The River Embankment road is occasionally damaged, but the vast majority is flat and very smooth to ride. ❗【Cycling Tips】 ⏹️ Daytime riding should pay attention to sunscreen🌞, take protective measures to avoid sunburn. Because the river embankment is unobstructed and unobstructed, there are no trees. ⏹️ On the one hand to pay attention to safety, because most of the river bank is no fence, if you ride too carried away, it is possible to ride directly into the river, it is tragic! 🌈This ride, I have to say, outdoor riding and city riding are so different! City ride is more about shuttling through high-rise buildings and bustling crowds, feeling the bustle and bustle of the city. And by the river, I listen to the endless roar of the river, breathe the fresh air with the breath of the river, such a wonderful experience, I really hope to be immersed in the embrace of this nature. 🚵‍♀️

I've been seeing Sha Wan Saurauia Valley in Leshan all over my friends' circle, and I finally got it arranged this weekend! The drive into the mountains was smooth, and although it had rained the night before, the mountains were not damp. The kids' jungle adventure began, sometimes watching the streams and even playing in the water, sometimes the rocks overhead dripping... Despite the bright sun, it wasn't stuffy at all, the sun's rays sparsely filtered through the thick Saurauia leaves onto the rocks, with the big sun in the distance, and the stone path we hiked was cool. It's so perfect for the hot summer, not hot at all Along the way, we met a lot of kids, all in groups of families traveling together, and there were even small waterfalls on the road, the hiking difficulty , it's so suitable for taking kids on a trip!

🏘️The ancient town of Luocheng in Qianwei is famous for its boat-shaped street, "Liangting Street", which is called "Noah's Ark of the East" by the architectural community. It is often seen on the Internet. I have been looking forward to it for a long time and finally made a trip this time. Compared with the unique ancient town architecture, I prefer the slow life and the atmosphere of fireworks here. 📸First impression: The ancient town is a provincial historical and cultural town, located on the top of an oval hill. The main street is in the shape of a boat, long from east to west and short from north to south, much like a weaving shuttle, so it is called "a shuttle in the clouds". Looking down from a high place, it looks like a big ship stranded on the top of the mountain. ✔️Must experience: 1️⃣Check in the typical southwestern market town architectural style. It is mainly concentrated in the "Ship-Shaped Street" of the ancient town, with a bluestone sidewalk in the middle and long corridors along the street called "Cool Halls" and houses with wooden frame structures on both sides. 2️⃣There are still five palaces and four temples in the town. The five palaces are: Yuwang Palace, Nanhua Palace, Wanshou Palace, Wenwu Palace, and Sansheng Palace. Four temples: Chuanzhu Temple, Lingguan Temple, Xingxin Temple and Xiaogong Temple. Luocheng Ancient Town retains its original color in an old and ancient time. 3️⃣The smell of fireworks is what soothes the hearts of ordinary people the most. The Boat-Shaped Street is the symbol of Luocheng Town and also a resting place for the locals. It is standard for the indigenous residents of the ancient town to drink tea and play cards in the teahouse on the old street. Life here is always leisurely and leisurely. A small square table, a bamboo chair, a bowl of covered tea, Luocheng's tea culture and card culture perfectly embody the comfortable life we ​​yearn for. 🎫Tickets: Free and open. 🚏Address: Luocheng Town, Qianwei County, Leshan City. There are parking lots outside the ancient town, and the general fee is 10 yuan. 🍱Ancient town food: There are many delicious foods in the ancient town. A bowl of steaming mutton soup, a sour, spicy, crispy and sweet Kakaer, spicy and fragrant tofu brain, delicious fried cakes and other snacks are recommended to try. You can also take a portion of the dried beef here when you leave. ↪️Recommended route: The ancient town is not big, and it is not suitable for special forces who are in a hurry to check in. There seems to be no guests from afar, nor local owners. There is really no fixed itinerary recommended here. You can walk around the boat-shaped street at will, take a look at the fireworks, and settle your impetuous heart.
