Oriental Buddha capital or 东方佛都。 Many people think it is just a Forest Park with several Buddha stature located behind the Leshan Giant Buddha area. No, absolutely not! This is real miracle. I recommend very quickly finish with Giant Buddha and as quick as possible to move here, because time could be not enough to enjoy everything. I hope trip.com will make every part of this territory as a separate landmark because those artifacts deserved this! Cultural relics and masterpieces shocking even knocking down imagination.

The Oriental Buddha Park in Leshan is an underrated niche attraction

A giant Buddha underground palace built in the mountains - Oriental Buddha Capital

There is a stunning underground palace similar to Ghost Blowing Lamp, which seems to be the entrance to another world, with a deep and solemn atmosphere~ In the Wannfo Cave underground palace, in addition to many Buddha statues of different styles, there are two giant Buddha statues: one is a 37-meter-tall Sakyamuni sitting Buddha, and the other is a 51-meter-tall Medicine Buddha, both standing in the open space below, which makes people feel awe~ 📍Attraction: Oriental Buddha Capital 🕹️Location: 362 Lingyun Road, Shizhong District, Leshan City, Sichuan Province 🛣️Transportation: Bus 3, 13, 302, K1 direct (connected with Leshan Giant Buddha) 🎫Tickets: Regular ticket 80, children, student ticket 50, military, people over 65 free ⏰Opening hours From October 8, 2023 to March 31, 2024, open from 08:00 to 17:30 From April 1 to October 7, open from 07:30 to 18:00 🌟🌟🌟Highlights: 💕Wanfo Cave More than 700 meters underground Buddha palace, taking pictures📷 is really a must-visit place for taking pictures. The orange light, coupled with various Buddha statues carved in various forms such as round carving, relief, mural, etc., has the taste of Sanshu's pen 💕Tianwang Hall The Four Heavenly Kings are the Dharma protectors of Buddhism. When combined, they become "wind and rain", even the 9-meter-high giant statue is lifelike 💕Sakyamuni sitting Buddha statue 33 meters high, carved from the original stone, is the largest Buddha in the mountains in the world 💕Medicine Buddha Cave The whole cave is 45 meters long, the Medicine Buddha is 51 meters high, and is the master of the Eastern Pure Lapis Lazuli World 💕Guanyin Cave There is a Guanyin 9 meters high, with a graceful posture, elegant and dignified, known as the "Eastern Venus". There is also a Thousand-Hand Guanyin, which looks very dignified 💕Oriental Reclining Buddha Looking up at the bridge, you can see it. It is 170 meters long and directly uses the external natural mountain body for carving. The middle part retains natural vegetation, like a green quilt 💕Giant Buddha Bay Surrounded by peaks on three sides, the three-tiered hall comes down vertically, like a dragon chair 🍽️🍛Leshan Delicacies: Stepped beef🥩 (actually beef offal), Bobo chicken (tastier than the city) 🏨Accommodation: If you want to be close to the scenic spot and live comfortably, you can choose a hotel near the Grandpa (Leshan Giant Buddha), located at the confluence of three rivers, with convenient transportation, and a hotel that integrates French architectural style. Both high-end and out of the picture. ⚠️⚠️⚠️Precautions: ✅The single purchase of Leshan Giant Buddha and Oriental Buddha Capital is 80 yuan each, but the joint ticket is only 145 yuan/person. ✅The current Oriental Buddha Capital is not the ancient sculpture of the Tang Dynasty, but the restoration by modern people. Inside is the world's largest 170-meter reclining Buddha, which is very shocking.

The statues of the Buddhas of the Eastern Buddhism are more than 3,000. They are mainly carved by stone cliffs. They are different from the cliffs of the Qianjiang Rocks in Jiajiang. Qianfoyan was built during the Tang Dynasty. The Eastern Buddhas were later formed by the Sichuan Academy of Fine Arts. Created by the professor of sculpture, the Buddha statues of the Eastern Buddha are in the cave, and the Buddha statue is bigger and more spectacular. The cliff statue is carved directly into the Buddha on the cliff. This skill is very difficult. One mistake is not only the destruction of the entire Buddha statue, but the entire cliff cannot be engraved again. Every Buddha statue in Oriental Buddha is very lively and very shocking. The friends who believe in Buddha must come and see. The Oriental Buddha is not a great project to solidify culture into history.
