Leshan giant Lord Buddha is the tallest & longest stone buddha statue. Situated at the hillside of xijuo peak that looks the junction of the minijang, qulingyi and dadu rivers.. Never go here on holidays cause, I wait 4an half hour for ticket

You can easily do this on your own by taking the fast train from Chengdu Dong station, there is no real need of a guide or an agent that will charge you 5 times more than the actual admission and train fare. The view of the Buddha is limited to the cruise option only due to some renovation works of the right facade. There are still some option to walk up to the area of the Buddha’s head but they no longer allow you to take the steps down for a full view of the Buddha from the bottom, hence the best option is via the river cruise which is very affordable and the duration is for 30-40mins. There are also options for you to visit other Buddha statues within the same park but will require long walks or a ride on the tram which is optional at an additional cost.

Leshan Giant Buddha (樂山大佛), the world’s largest and tallest stone Buddha statue, is located in the hillside of Xijuo Peak that overlooks the junction of the Minjiang, Qingyi and Dadu Rivers. The monumental structure was built 1200 years ago, the most interesting fact is Buddha has a unique and advanced drainage system that helps to preserve the statue from erosion. Be sure to come here by boat and climb to experience the history and culture of Leshan Giant Buddha. Never come here on consecutive holidays, because we have to queue for at least four hour to see the Buddha😭.

Insanely crowded on the way down to Buddha's foot. The views are great, weather is hot and make sure to bring drinks or else you risk being dehydrated.

Awe-inspiring Buddha statue. The Leshan Giant Buddha is a 71-metre tall stone statue, built between 713 and 803. You can climb the stairs on the right side up of the statue to reach the head level of the Buddha and descend from the stairs on the left. May be crowded, so be careful. Manageable for a person of average fitness

the entire area is amazing, gorgeous scenery and a great view from the boat tour. it's a bit slippery around but overall great experience

Absolutely amazing experience! It’s really worth climbing up to the head of the statue and then doing a boat trip to get a full frontal view. Stunning and very captivating!

This is the must go attraction for whoever visiting chengdu. The status was huge and very peaceful just by watching it. We hiked down to its foot to get its bottom up views. There are other temples also worth to visit.

Another greatness of China. To tell truth i am not a big fan but have admit that everything they do is to confirm the greatness. This place what i've always to come and definitely very impressive. Can either take cruise and watch the greatness from the river or you can climb along the Buddha. A MUST visit. Surrounding is also large with convenient amenities.

The giant Buddha is the main attraction but good luck getting a decent picture. There were people everywhere as usual as a national tourist trap like this one. If you are good with stairs you can walk all the way down to the bottom (about 24 floors high) and walk back up. I kindly declined the offer as my knees were already pretty swollen as this is the last day of our tour. As with most tourist areas, it is unfriendly to elderly and physically challenged individuals.

This Leshan Giant Budha statue was carved out from the face of a hill, similar to the Longmen Grottoes. Sitting at around 70+ meters, it is better to view from a ferry / river cruise. Sont forget also to visit the Eastern Budha Town. You will need a day if you wish to climb up the Leshan Budha.

- Great place to visit - There are a lot of delicious tangerines along the road with reasonable prices, so big and so sweet. I highly recommend

I enter from the back of the area - 东方佛都景区, which was another conservation area with more temples and Buddha statues, including 卧佛，万佛词，地宫东区，米洞中坐佛和药师佛寺. Am glad I went on the tour with a proper guide and I'm happy ours was knowledgeable. There's also no lack of tourist traps here, such as photos with the Giant Buddha head. A photo with the Buddha head should be taken from the right shoulder of the Buddha because the observation deck on the left is higher where you will then be 'above and looking down at Buddha' which is disrespectful. There are 5 poses here where touching a different part of the Buddha's head signifies a different blessing (top of the head for a good career, top of the ear for good health, bottom of the ear for longevity, nose for wealth. Then eyebrows and facing the Buddha directly which I can't remember for what purpose already). A pity I didn't get to see the whole Buddha from the leg as the path going down was closed due to falling stones resulting from heavy rain in Sep. And again a pity the next time I return (if I ever do), it'll not be the same anymore as they are now constructing a glass shield covering the statue from the front, and an elevator in the middle of it.

As a foreigner you should bring your passport aside is required for purchasing the ticket to enter. There are tour groups but all in mandarin. It's good to have an English speaking friend who can interprete.

A landmark historical site of over a century, the gigantic Buddha is around 70 metre tall! It's super spectacular when you see it close in person. You can also walk along the old pathway nearby. It's a lovely place to go in Chengdu.

Sad that the map says that there is no such temple there. So impossible to visit then if it aint on the map. Guess, it might be a new temple, just built. That is why it does not show up at the location where it is supposed to be.

It was cool.

(Translated by Google) Very quiet place. Very close to Leshan Giant Buddha. (Original) 很清靜的地方。離樂山大佛很近。

(Translated by Google) It was a great trip (Original) Harika bir geziydi

(Translated by Google) There are not many people and it is relatively quiet. (Original) 人不多，较清净。
