Giant Buddha near Chengdu - Must Visit

#createwithtrip to Chengdu must include a day to visit the Giant Buddha at Leshan. The Buddha is a 71m tall stone statue, built during the 8th Century (Tang Dynasty), facing Mount Emei, with the min River and Dadu River flowing below its feet. It is the largest and tallest stone Buddha statue in the world. To get there, best to hire a car for a day. Prepare for a large crowd as it is a very popular tourist site. Queue system is in place and normal wait time to get to the top of the statue is 60-120 mins wait. Follow the crowd, to work your way from the top of the statue and eventually get to the feet of the statue. #china #chengdu #leshan #giantbuddha #unescoworldheritagesites #tangdynasty
