Private Leshan Buddha Tour
Private Leshan Buddha Tour
After picking you up at your hotel in Chengdu, we'll head to Leshan. The city is in the Chinese province of Sichuan located approximately two and a half hours away.
On arrival, we'll begin with a guided tour around the Leshan Giant Buddha. This colossal sculpture standing at 71 metres (232 feet) high and declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site, was sculpted in the 8th century into the Mount Lingyun cliff. Did you know that it's one of the largest statues of Buddha in the world?
This area is spectacular, as it's a spot where several rivers meet. In fact, the Giant Buddha was built to protect all those who sailed in the turbulent waters in the area. The ferocity of these currents subsided after the creation of the sculpture. Did it have powers? Actually, it's due to a technical cause that we will explain during the tour.
To the Giant Buddha, you can choose to take a boat ride, from where you'll have the best views to take photos or climb the mountain on foot. In this case, along the way, you'll pass Buddhist temples and ancient sculptures.
Whether you go by water or land, we'll discover why the local saying "The mountain is Buddha and Buddha is the mountain" is evident here. The magnificent sculpture is also a pilgrimage centre for many devotees from many corners of the country.
We'll end our tour by going to a restaurant in the area, where you'll have free time to taste the traditional Sichuan cuisine at your own expense.
After lunch, we'll return to Chengdu and drop you off at your hotel after 10 hours of activity.
