[2025 Leshan Attraction] Travel Guide for Lingyun Mountain (Updated Mar)

⛰[Attraction Guide] 📍Address: Navigate directly to Leshan Haoshang Bridge 🚗Transportation: 1. Taxi 2. Car: Park at the Wuyu Temple parking lot (CNY 10 per entry) and walk 5 minutes to the flower fields. 3. From downtown Leshan, take bus No. 3 or 13 to "Wuyu Temple Station" and walk along the river for 10 minutes to enter the flower field area. 🕙Duration: 0.5–1 day 💰Tickets: Free 🌟Highlights: 🌸Spring at Leshan Haoshang Bridge is the most enchanting season along the Min River. From March to April each year, the fields on both sides of the bridge are blanketed with golden rapeseed flowers. The river flows like green silk, and the silhouettes of Lingyun Mountain and Wuyu Temple appear in the distance, creating a poetic scene of "a river winding through flower fields, with Buddha hidden among the green hills." Strolling through the fields, with butterflies and bees dancing around and the fragrance of flowers in the air, this is the most healing spring outing destination in southern Sichuan. 🌸Haoshang Bridge spans the Min River, connecting Lingyun Mountain and Wuyu Mountain. Wuyu Mountain, also known as "Lidui" (with Wuyu Temple, originally built in the Tang Dynasty, on its peak), is a relic of the water management project by Li Bing, the governor of Shu, over 2,000 years ago. The Mahao River was excavated at that time, giving this place both historical and geological significance. 🌸This place is perfect for a light spring hike: Wuyu Temple parking lot → Haoshang Bridge viewing platform → riverside flower path → Lidui roundabout → vegetarian lunch at Wuyu Temple (about 2–3 hours total, easy and relaxing). 🌸It's also a great place for elementary school students or artists who love outdoor sketching to find the breath of spring. 🌸If you have enough time, you can also visit the Mahao Cliff Tombs, Mahao Fishing Village, Oriental Buddha Capital, Leshan Giant Buddha, and Wuyu Temple, all within a short distance. 🌸The beach in the fishing village next to Haoshang Bridge is a great place to see the cruise ships up close, take photos, enjoy the river breeze, skip stones, catch tadpoles, and have lots of fun.😁 📝Tips: 1. **Flowering Season Alert** - Best viewing period: mid-March to early April 2. **Important Notes** - Protect the farmland: Do not trample on the flowers. Walk along the ridges or in designated areas. - Insect and sun protection: Bring mosquito repellent and a sun hat, as the UV rays are strong on sunny days. - Eco-friendly travel: Bring your own garbage bags, as there are no trash cans in the flower fields. 🌻🌿Haoshang Bridge in spring is a wonderful harmony of nature and culture. Here, you can chase the light and shadows in the sea of flowers, listen to the chanting in the ancient temple, and savor the earthly delights in the river breeze. Seize the short spring blossom season and come to Leshan for a romantic encounter with gold and green!

Lingyun Mountain, Leshan Giant Buddha Scenic Area, Leshan, Pilu Hall, Leshan, Sichuan Enter the south gate of Leshan Giant Buddha Scenic Area, and you will see a large Chinese character "佛" (Buddha) in front of you, which will make you feel awe. Not far ahead, on the cliff on the side of the river, there are two ancient cannons pointing to the river. This is the Huanglian Ancient Cannon Platform, one of the dozens of ancient cannon platforms in the San Gui Jiu Ding City. At the end of the Song Dynasty and the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, the Song and Yuan armies fought bloody battles here. This heavy cannon is a historical witness of the Song army's resistance against the Yuan army. At the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, the Yuan army captured Chengdu and then began to attack Jiazhou along the Minjiang River. The Jiazhou garrison spent three years building this independent castle integrating production, life, and military defense on San Gui Mountain and Lingyun Mountain, which is known as "San Gui Jiu Ding City." Further ahead is the Stele Forest, which is a must-see attraction in the scenic area. It is located between the Duiyue and Zhuru peaks of Lingyun Mountain, consisting of two groups of buildings in the style of ancient pavilions and corridors, hidden among the ancient trees. At the entrance of the Stele Forest stands a stone tablet with the words "poetry, calligraphy, and painting" inscribed by Deng Xiaoping. The Stele Forest displays calligraphy steles of famous people from ancient and modern times, most of which are rubbings of ink marks collected by the Giant Buddha Scenic Area, including many treasures, such as the works of Su Dongpo, Huang Tingjian, Zheng Banqiao, and modern and contemporary figures such as Kang Youwei, Guo Moruo, Zhao Puchu, Li Yimang, Guan Shanyue, and Qian Jiaju. One of the Tibetan steles was written by the Vice Chairman of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress, Apai Awang Jinmei, which means that the stone-carved Buddha embodies the essence of Chinese art and hopes to be restored and protected. Further ahead is Pilu Temple. Pilu Temple is a temple integrating ancient-style architecture, cliff carvings, sculptures, and other elements. A mountain path paved with white marble leads directly to Pilu Temple, surrounded by camphor trees with a pleasant fragrance, creating a peaceful and tranquil atmosphere. Pilu Temple is located on Danxia Peak of Lingyun Mountain, built in the style of Tang Dynasty palaces, consisting of three halls: Maitreya Hall, Pilu Hall, and Huayan Hall. It is adjacent to Leshan Giant Buddha and Lingyun Temple, quiet and distant. The environment around Pilu Temple is beautiful, with lush forests and bamboo on the mountain all year round, and the confluence of three rivers at the foot of the mountain, enjoying the reputation of being the crown of southwest mountains and rivers.

📈 The Mahao Cliff Tombs are located on the east bank of the spillway river channel between Lingyun and Wuyou mountains, with 'Mahao' being the name of the place. Cliff tombs are a type of ancient tomb popular in Leshan, which imitates human dwellings and involves carving tombs out of mountains. 🤜 These cliff tombs date back to the Eastern Han Dynasty through to the Southern and Northern Dynasties period in China. They are situated on the north bank of the Mahao River near Mingtong Village in the suburbs of Leshan City, Sichuan Province. The tomb complex is distributed along a red sandstone cliff stretching about 300 meters from Dadiwan to Hutouwan, arranged in 4 to 9 layers, with a total of more than 330 tombs. 👉 Architectural layout: 👍🏻 The Mahao Cliff Tombs consist of single-chamber, double-chamber, and multi-chamber types.

Single-chamber tombs generally have one coffin chamber on one side of the main chamber. Double-chamber tombs have coffin chambers on both sides of the rear chamber. 👍🏻 Multi-chamber tombs are more complex in structure, with the tomb entrance divided into 2 to 4 doorways by two pillars. The antechambers are arranged horizontally, followed by 2 to 4 parallel rear chambers. Each rear chamber has the same structure, with a corridor in front and rooms on both sides. 🚪 Tomb No. 1 has a tomb entrance and antechamber carved with imitation wooden architectural elements such as brackets, column bases, tile crests, flat tiles, rafter ends, and eaves. The tomb entrance is carved with images of auspicious beasts, musicians, secret plays, and dancers; the antechamber has carvings of Jing Ke's assassination of King Qin, alchemists, gate soldiers, the Vermilion Bird, a funeral procession, the game of liubo, fishing, and horse-drawing scenes.
