Chengdu to Leshan Day Trip: See the Big Buddha, Taste Delicious Food, Unlimited Fun! ✨
"The joy of Leshan is the joy of happiness!" 🎉
🚅 At 9:00 am, depart from Chengdu East Railway Station. After 50 minutes, you will arrive at Leshan Railway Station. The ticket price is only 54 yuan! At 7:00 pm, take the high-speed train back to Chengdu. Super convenient! 🚅
🚗 In Leshan City, taxis are super cheap. Go wherever you want! 🗺️
🏞️ A full day itinerary: Leshan Railway Station → Jiaxiang Road Food Street → Leshan Giant Buddha → Dongda Street Food Street → Hengdu Wharf → Shangzhongshun Commercial Street → Chengdu East Railway Station. After enjoying the beautiful scenery, you can also enjoy delicious food. It's so cool! 📸 (The route map is at the end of the article, clear and easy to understand~)
🎫 There are three ways to visit the Big Buddha:
🎟️ 80 yuan for a close-up view: Climb the mountain for a close-up view, visit the temple to offer incense, and even hug the Buddha's head. Feel the solemnity and sacredness!
🛳️ 70 yuan for a full-body view: Take a boat from Wuyoushi Temple Wharf, save time and effort, and see the whole body of the Big Buddha!
👀 0 yuan for a distant view: Look from the opposite bank of the river, the Big Buddha's style is still there!
🧗♀️ If you are visiting for the first time, it is recommended to climb the mountain for a close-up view! Take a taxi to Leshan Giant Buddha Parking Lot No. 6 or take a bus to Guicheng Mountain. Follow the signs to easily find the north gate of the scenic area and avoid detours! It takes only 20 minutes from the north gate to the Buddha's head. You can also check in at the Buddha's head, ring the Buddha's bell, and enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Minjiang River! 🌊
👣 It takes about 1-2 hours to walk from the Buddha's head to the Buddha's feet (non-holidays). That day, I was super lucky and arrived at the Buddha's feet in less than an hour! Looking up from below, the Big Buddha is really spectacular! ! !😲
🕰️ The total browsing time is about 2 hours. You can also visit Wuyoushi Temple. The exit of the south gate of the Big Buddha is there! Hengdu Wharf is also a niche check-in point, and the Buddha Viewing Building is also here! 🏯
🍜 Speaking of food, "Food in Sichuan, Taste in Leshan" is not a lie! I ate 12 meals in one day and didn't think it was too much! 😋
📍 Jiaxiang Road Food Street:
🍧 Chuanmei Flower Ice Powder: Signature Mother-in-law Ice Powder, full of ingredients and delicious! I also packed a portion on the way back! 😋
🥩 Feng Sanniang's Braised Beef: Super large portion of beef, delicious enough to lift your feet! Blood pudding is also highly recommended, super tender and delicious! Super fragrant chili! 🌶️
🍨 Ju Grandma's Soft Ice Cream: Mango Sago flavor, super soft ice cream, large portion to eat! 🍨
🍬 Candied Hawthorns: Street stalls on the side of the road, freshly spun sugar, sweet sugar and sweet strawberries, just a little messy to eat haha! 🍓
🥚 Lei Si Niang Egg Cake: Cream and shredded pork egg cake, although there is a slight egg smell, the cream is not bad! 🍰
🦆 Rural Sweet Skin Duck: Recommended by the driver, the taste is really good! 🦆
Come to Leshan and enjoy this happiness and deliciousness with me! 😘🎉

Compared to the Leshan Giant Buddha, I have a deeper affection for the ancient red temple at the mountain top
When traveling to Leshan,
don't miss this off-the-beaten-path millennium-old temple⛩️,
the full-on Chinese red hue,
is a kind of beauty etched in the bones;

I have been to Leshan 10 times, and I love this ancient temple of a thousand years more than the Great Buddha
I have been to Leshan 10 times!
🚶♂🔄10 times! For me, Leshan is not just about the world-famous Great Buddha, but also a small city full of history, culture, and the hustle and bustle of urban life.🏯🎭
🚉The high-speed train goes directly to Leshan, and every visit brings new discoveries. Compared to the crowded Leshan Great Buddha, I recommend this less-traveled route to experience the history, culture, and urban life of Leshan.🚶♀🎒
📍Wuyou Temple→Haoshang Bridge→Mahao Cliff Tombs→Xiniu Fang→Shangzhongshun Food Street
🏞Wuyou Temple
The ancient temple on the mountaintop hidden behind the Leshan Great Buddha. Built against the mountain and surrounded by water, it is far from the city's noise and offers more tranquility than the Great Buddha.
Climbing up the long and secluded steps, the scenery along the way is as beautiful as a painting. Even on weekends, it's quiet and comfortable, perfect for hiking and relaxing.🚶♂🌳
The temple's red walls and the journey there are very photogenic, making it a paradise for photography enthusiasts.📸🔴
🚤Tips:
At the entrance of the temple is the Wuyou Temple Pier, where you can first take a boat to tour the Leshan Great Buddha, then visit Wuyou Temple.
The exit of the temple leads to Haoshang Bridge and Mahao Cliff Tombs, which can be visited together, and it's really not crowded!
Near Xiniu Fang, you can take pictures of 3 'Leshan' road signs, and if you follow Binjiang Road, you will reach 'Guanfo Lou', where you can photograph the 'Le' on the opposite bank.📸🏞
Overall, Leshan is a city worth visiting, not only for the spectacular Great Buddha but also for the serene ancient temples, delicious food, and rich history and culture.🏞🍜🎭
