Things to do in Leshan Giant Buddha

Easy to redeem the ferry ticket at tourist center (near entrance). The queue for the ferry will take sometime as queue number will be given to board the ferry by batches. Manage to see the majestic Giant Buddha board ferry :)

The overall experience was enjoyable. Lunch was provided and the food quality was good too. I had a good time exploring Leshan and visiting Huanglongxi, the ancient water town. I only wish we had more time to explore Huanglongxi, it has many well preserved old buildings, absoluyelu love the place.

Had a good experience touring with 小林. She was friendly, approachable, and easy to communicate with throughout the trip. The arrangements were well organized, and everything went smoothly from start to finish. She was patient and helpful whenever assistance was needed, making the journey comfortable and enjoyable. Overall, it was a pleasant experience, and I appreciate her efforts in ensuring the trip went well. Thank you, 小林! We reached back at Chengdu quite late like 9 plus.

We are a group of five senior friends who traveled to Chengdu and Chongqing. Klook travel designer Charley meticulously customized our itinerary, arranging everything according to our interests and abilities, making the overall trip rich in content and comfortable. The local tour teams in both cities were also very professional. Each day, they provided advance weather reminders, allowing us to prepare appropriate attire. Both drivers had excellent driving attitudes, ensuring safety and attentiveness, providing us with several comfortable long-distance travel experiences. Thank you all! The tour guides were also professional and attentive. Nancy in Chengdu and Xiao K in Chongqing gave us in-depth introductions to the local culture, history, customs, and unique attractions of each scenic spot, giving us a vivid sense of both cities and their human history. Thank you again for your care! Overall, the Klook team was very thoughtful in all aspects. Their professional service and enthusiastic attitude brought us unforgettable and joyful experiences during our 9-day trip.

The overall itinerary was exactly as described in the schedule. We took a tour bus to Leshan, where the guide gave the group an hour to eat on their own around Zhanggong Bridge. Afterward, we headed to the pier to take a boat tour of the Grand Buddha, which lasted about half an hour. Once that was finished, we returned. For me, this trip felt more like paying for round-trip transportation from Chengdu to Leshan, rather than a guided sightseeing tour.

A thoroughly successful excursion that was definitely worth getting up early for. The transfer to the Grand Buddha was very relaxing due to the comfortable XXL lounge seats on the bus, allowing us to get some more sleep during the ride. After an impressive boat tour with views of the Buddha, we continued to Mount Emei. There, an excellent lunch awaited us with a variety of about 10 different dishes. The subsequent ascent by bus and cable car to the temple complex above the clouds was simply breathtaking. An unforgettable experience and a clear recommendation!

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A perfect day trip to Leshan! This itinerary was an excellent experience. The first stop, the Ten Thousand Buddha Cave at Dongfang Buddha Capital, was mysterious and awe-inspiring, with few people, making it great for photos. Afterward, we saw the magnificent Leshan Giant Buddha, a 71-meter-tall mountain masterpiece that truly inspires reverence. For lunch, we enjoyed authentic Leshan specialty dishes. In the afternoon, we strolled through Huanglongxi Ancient Town, nestled by mountains and water, with an antique charm and a wonderfully leisurely pace of life.

Highly recommend this one-day tour to Mount Emei and Leshan Giant Buddha! Departing from Chengdu, all transportation is arranged, which is perfect for travelers who don’t want to drive or plan the trip themselves. No need to get up early for a tiring journey. You can also listen to the commentary along the way to learn about the historical stories behind the sites, gaining much more than wandering around on your own

Our guide was exceptionally knowledgeable about Buddhist history and teachings. She explained the origins, traditions, and significance of each site with great clarity, making the experience both educational and meaningful. Her passion for Buddhism was evident throughout the tour, and she patiently answered every question with impressive depth of knowledge. Thanks to her engaging storytelling, we gained a much deeper appreciation of Buddhist culture and history. Highly recommended!
