In the morning, you can also take the bus directly to the high-speed rail station. The actual drive is 1 and a half hours, and you can take the ropeway to Jinding in 20 minutes. If it doesn't rain, you can see the sea of clouds and the big monkeys all over the mountain.

The staff who explained was also very patient and learned the story of the origin of Leshan Giant Buddha. The Giant Buddha is very majestic and a witness during the heyday of Datang.

It is a sacred place for Buddhist and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Leshan Giant Buddha depicts a seated image of Maitreya and it is an exquisite piece of cliff-carving work from the Tang Dynasty. The colossal statue is about 70 metres high and over 1,300-years-old, making it the largest stone Buddha in the world, and by far the tallest pre-modern statue. It took an astonishing three generations of craftmen and 90 years to complete. When viewing the tall and majestic Giant Buddha, one cannot help but marvel at the wisdom of the ancients. In the absence of modern large-scale tools, they were still able to leave such a legacy.Show Less

- 6.04.3/5775 reviews5 review"The small train is a hardboard seat, the itinerary will be more swaying, but it is acceptable, the whole is still clean, the section of the steam car and the tunnel staff will remind you to close the window, basically can not smell the irritating smell, this time the osmanthus is fragrant, there are flowers on the mountain, Not spectacular or good, there are many dumplings tree-knotted dumplings along the way, bamboo, gold gui Yingui, thousands of days red... The only thing I think is the problem is that there will be more whistles on the road section of the steam car. In the carriage, adults are still acceptable. Children may not be good. When waiting at the station, the head will be coaled, whistled, and it will be very harsh to listen outside, and you don't know when it will ring, it will be startled [cracked], the steam performance for five minutes, at the end of the steam performance, the harsh sound reaches the peak, It is a harsh ear that adults can't bear, and children must not stand it, so it is recommended that this situation must be prepared for the child in advance, or the big ear mask must be soundproofed better. The train performance is in that section. Anyway, I will definitely help him cover his ears when there are earplugs. In the end, it was really too harsh... On the whole, there is no problem with bringing children. Pay attention to the above details. The other is that you don’t come under 4 years old. It’s really meaningless and tossing... If you can fly to Yibin from other cities in the past, Yibin drives to Jiayang Small Train Scenic Area for an hour and a half. A better hotel nearby is about an hour on the way, but Yibin has fewer flights. It is also an hour drive from Leshan Giant Buddha. If you go from Leshan, you can plan it. It is recommended to rent a car in advance to drive by yourself. Parking in the scenic area is very convenient. The local driver drives faster and it is a mountain road. It is safer to bring children or rent a car with a safety seat. When I came, the driver's master 120 miles of continuous turn mountain road, you feel [cracked][cracked][cracked]...just sauce, Back to Chengdu [goodbye]"Qianwei County32.4 km from downtownOther Sightseeing ToursNo.1 of Family-friendly Attractions in LeshanHighlights: Jiayang Little Steam Train is a classic narrow-gauge train running near Jiayang Coal Mine in Qianwei County, Sichuan Province.

There are more elderly people selling fruit and fragrant wood on the road. The price is moderate and acceptable. It is 10 yuan and 20 yuan. It is better to bring a little food yourself. If you don't have it, it is recommended to arrange the meal in the visitor center or Mali. Mali's cold old is about 3 hours after the tour, and the other one walked back and forth for more than an hour.

The Railway Bing Museum must make an appointment one day in advance. The entire scenic spot, including the Railway Bing Museum, does not need money, but can only drive. Navigate the Railway Bing Museum and walk along the road. If you want to climb the plank road later, you can navigate the ancient road village. The navigation point is the starting point of the plank road. You can see the net red shooting point in the picture for a quarter of an hour. The water is green or not, depending on whether it rains before, if it rains, there is a high probability that it will not be green. There are meals in the scenic spot, on the street of the Railway Soldier Museum, but I didn't try it. In summary, the beautiful natural scenery is worth a visit."Leshan77.7 km from downtownWaterfallsCanyonsHighlights: The Jinkou River Grand Canyon, which starts from the Wusi River in the west and freezes to the Jinkou River, spans the Jinkou River District of Leshan City, Sichuan Province.

There are many small ravines along the canyon, which are well-proportioned. Among them, the most famous one is the one-line sky. The cliffs on both sides of the gully are close to each other. When you look up, you can only look at the sky. Follow it to enter the Laochang Valley to the center of the ditch. This section is a few kilometers long. The road is even more amazing, with ravines and cliffs, gurgling streams, chirping birds and beasts, and sheep intestines trails, which are completely "malicious" manifestations of nature.Show Less
