Things to do in Leshan

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 :)

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!

This is our second time choosing Klook's custom tours, and this time we booked a fully customized 6-day trip around Chengdu. The recommended destinations and hotels were completely tailored to our requests. To avoid the biggest crowds during the National Day holiday, we chose Qionglai, a small city west of Chengdu, along with the must-see Dujiangyan Irrigation System and Mount Qingcheng. The overall itinerary was reasonably planned, and whenever we needed temporary adjustments during the trip, Ling'er's team in charge of the itinerary responded very promptly, making our travel experience exceptionally good. Driver Xia Heqian provided full chauffeured service throughout these six days. Driver Xia was extremely punctual and enthusiastic, the vehicle was clean and comfortable with a smooth ride, and he helped us optimize our sightseeing routes for high efficiency, avoiding traffic jams and crowds. He also took us to try very authentic and delicious local specialties, maximizing our travel experience.

experience: the shuttle bus is very shaky as the mountain road is far . so just take note if you want to take shuttle bus. from bottom to top take about 2 hours by bus.

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.

the driver came to our hotel to pick us. 8 person in a 9seater car. we were transported to a bus. inside bus was new & clean. a Chinese guide whom brought us to the destination. she was patient and nice. explained the itinerary and the history very clearly and take good care of us. after reaching the destination, another guide took over $ started the journey explaining clearly the history of the place. we were spilt into diff group. some choose to walk more so can go closer to the big Buddha , some choose to sit ferry which is more suitable for children, elderly. each group will have a guide follow us. after finished the tour we are send back around the place where we board the bus. guide tell us there was a local streets 玉林西路 nearby can walk around. after that just Didi back to our hotel. very convenient. overall the trip is very fulfilling and really need to go with a guide.

Guide Huang was professional, well-organised, and explained the itinerary clearly throughout the tour. Unfortunately, the group included a significant number of international visitors, and as she was unable to communicate in English, we assisted with translation whenever possible. While Guide Huang made every effort to ensure everyone could follow the programme, international visitors inevitably missed out on much of the detailed historical background, local insights, and instructions provided in Chinese. Due to the language barrier, translations were often limited to brief summaries rather than the full explanations. As a result, non-Chinese-speaking participants were unable to fully benefit from the knowledge and context shared during the tour. For tours that regularly accommodate international visitors, having an English-speaking guide or providing bilingual support would greatly enhance the overall experience.

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

Well-organized and authentic tour with all the highlights. Even though it wasn't in my native language, I felt welcomed and the guide Hu Lixia was wonderful!
