The super invincible package is very convenient. The Jinding reciprocating cable car 🚠 has a large space, 100 people, which is very invincible. So the queue is very fast. I left some regrets for Emei. It rained today and the fog was too heavy. I couldn’t appreciate its beauty and shocking places well. I will come again next time. The only good thing is that there are almost no monkeys, 🥳
The contact, Annie, was very friendly and understanding, and resolved the issue quickly and accurately.
The driver, Mr. Lei, was excellent, with first-rate driving skills and a very courteous demeanor. We had a great time throughout the entire trip. Thank you, Mr. Lei, for your hard work.

It's not the work of a single dynasty, but rather a collection of the essence of Chinese and foreign Buddhist art, copied and recreated. Here you can see Buddhist statues from the Tang and Northern Wei dynasties, as well as from India and Southeast Asia. The cavernous underground palace of the "Ten Thousand Buddha Caves" is especially impressive, carved into the mountain. The vast interior, combined with the lighting and Buddha statues, creates a mysterious, solemn, and slightly magical atmosphere, offering a powerful experience.
It is right next to the Leshan Giant Buddha. The highlight is the underground palace, and the Buddha statue is very majestic. I was a little hesitant at first, after all, it is a man-made landscape, but it is actually worth visiting.

The Jiayang Steam Train connects Yuejin Station and Bajiaogou Station. For one-way tickets, you need to buy separate tickets. Yuejin Station usually departs in the morning, with two trips. Bajiaogou Station departs in the afternoon, with two trips as well. The passenger carriage is air-conditioned and feels comfortable. The one-way time is about 60-70 minutes. There are two get-off points on the way, Caiziba and Liangshuituo, and the parking time is about 8-12 minutes. There are many historical buildings at Bajiaogou Station. Huangcunjing is about 1.8 kilometers away from Bajiaogou Station. You can get there by taking a dingdang car or a sightseeing car. The dingdang car costs 20 yuan per person, and the sightseeing car costs 10 yuan per person. Huangcunjing can experience a real underground mine, which children like.
It should be regarded as the scenic spot in Leshan second only to Leshan Giant Buddha and Mount Emei. This is an abandoned coal mine and the steam coal train that goes with it. Everything, including the train, station, and rails, retains the appearance of fifty years ago, which is very nostalgic. The whole one-way journey takes 1 hour, and then you will come to a town with a strong nostalgic atmosphere. The overall experience of the tour is good, and I recommend everyone to come and play.

I personally think it's well worth the trip. First, the road is in excellent condition, offering expansive views. The lush green mountains on either side are truly pleasing to the eye. Second, it's a short trip. We departed from Leshan and were able to go and return the same day, so we didn't get tired. Third, the canyon scenery is unique: the river rushes below, a ray of blue sky overhead, and lush mountains on both sides. Fourth, the history is truly breathtaking. When the Chengdu-Kunming Railway was built, countless railway soldiers sacrificed their lives and blood to ensure the smooth passage we see today.
The Jinkou Grand Canyon of the Dadu River is located in an area of intense crustal uplift on the eastern edge of the Hengduan Mountains, with a dramatic elevation difference. The valley slopes are steep and bottomless, with the valley floor almost entirely occupied by the riverbed, a rare sight. Almost every type of canyon, including narrow gorges and narrow ravines, can be seen here.

This scenic spot is incredibly cost-effective. The 50-yuan price includes two attractions, and the 18-yuan sightseeing bus takes you round trip between the two. The bus picks up at the same stop. If you want to see everything you want in one day, it's best to arrive early. The Honeycomb Rock trail is 3km long, surrounded by lush primeval forest vegetation. At the end, you'll find a waterfall cascading through a crack in the rocks. Mali Lengjiu is an alpine meadow, perfect for taking photos, and the mostly flat roads make it a relatively easy hike.
It is close to Chengdu and arrives in 3 hours. Mali is cold and old. Altay in Sichuan is a paradise on earth. It is full of negative oxygen ions and beautiful even when it rains. The primitive forest of Beehive Rock, the mountaineering road is all stone slabs, and it is super suitable for hiking.
