Leshan Giant Buddha
No. 9 of Best Things to Do in Sichuan

Leshan Giant Buddha

8.6
4.7/5
33k reviews

The Leshan Giant Buddha, also known as the Lingyun Giant Buddha, is situated on the cliff of Qiluan Peak on Lingyun Mountain at the confluence of the Min River, Qingyi River, and Dadu River in Leshan, Sichuan. It is a colossal seated stone statue of Maitreya carved during the Tang Dynasty, standing approx. 70 m tall, with a single instep spacious enough to accommodate over a hundred people. Legend has it that the turbulent waters at the confluence once frequently capsized passing boats. To calm the currents, the monk Haitong of Lingyun Temple initiated the carving of the Buddha. Over several generations, craftsmen continued the construction, which took approx. ninety years to complete. On the cliff to the right of the Buddha, an inscription from the Tang Dynasty titled "Jiazhou Lingyun Temple Great Maitreya Stone Statue" remains to this day, revealing its original name—the Great Maitreya Stone Statue of Jiazhou Lingyun Temple. The common route to visit the giant Buddha is to first arrive at Lingyun Temple beside the Buddha's head, then descend along the winding Jiuzhaigou plank road built against the cliff. View the Buddha's spiral hair buns and robe folds up close, and reach the platform at the Buddha's feet to look up at the full figure. Only then can one truly appreciate the grandeur of "a mountain being a Buddha, and a Buddha being a mountain." Lingyun Temple has continuous incense offerings, and many travelers also join their palms here to pray for blessings. For a different perspective, take a boat cruise or view from the riverside of Leshan ancient city: the continuous mountain outlines of Wuyou Mountain, Lingyun Mountain, and Guicheng Mountain resemble a giant reclining Buddha facing upward, with the grand Buddha seated precisely at its chest—creating the marvel of "Buddha within Buddha." The river view also captures the grand Buddha's full profile alongside the scenery of three rivers, making it especially effortless for travelers with limited stamina or those seeking panoramic shots.

4.5/5
53 reviews

The core Attraction Dongfengyan was built in the first year of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty, that is, in 1662 AD, and has been in use for more than 350 years. It is the third world heritage site in Leshan City after Leshan Giant Buddha and Mount Emei. Qianfoyan was excavated in the Sui Dynasty, flourished in the Tang Dynasty, and continued to the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The statues are arranged in a staggered manner, with a few occupying a cave alone and hundreds of them gathered in one cave. The beautiful shapes, exquisite craftsmanship, different postures, and colorful colors show the high level of stone carving art in ancient China. In 2006, Jiajiang Qianfoyan Grottoes, as a Tang Dynasty cultural relic, was approved to be included in the sixth batch of national key cultural relics protection units. Irrigation projects and historical landscapes complement each other, and water control inscriptions and grotto statues coexist harmoniously, which not only spreads irrigation civilization, but also profoundly expresses the important connotation of irrigation culture. In addition to Dongfeng Weir and Qianfoyan Grottoes, the core Attraction also has a wide range of water culture inscriptions from past dynasties, Yuelangchang Wonderland, Cassia Stone, Lingyan Fairy Cave, Peiyu Mountain Spring, Daguan Cliff, and Tieshi Xiongguan. The Attraction is full of green mountains, clear springs and waterfalls, and lush bamboo forests, with a variety of scenery.

Step by step, I climbed to the Golden Summit of Mount Emei. A sea of ​​clouds surged beneath my feet, and the golden statue of Samantabhadra stood silently atop the mountain. The hardship of the long mountain path became meaningful upon seeing this sea of ​​clouds and the Buddha's light. The mountain is high and the road is long; every step is filled with reverence. May I have peace, joy, and freedom from worry in the future.

The scenic area is well-developed, and the off-season offers a better experience with fewer crowds. However, we still had to queue for over twenty minutes to see the Buddha's feet because the path was extremely narrow, only wide enough for one person at a time. An elderly person in front of us was walking slowly, which slowed everyone else down as well. Imagine how long the queue could be during peak season – three or four hours!

The scenery is average, mainly the Dongfengyan water conservancy project, and the unique and vivid stone carvings on Qianfoyan. It is very meaningful. Walking here, the breeze is very pleasant.

"Jiazhou has many ancient towns, and Suji stands out among them." Suji Ancient Town has fertile land, convenient water and land transportation, and is a gathering place for merchants. It was an important water and land port in Leshan during the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and also a must-pass place for pilgrims and lay Buddhists to worship Mount Emei.

I've visited Mount Emei three times, and each time the scenery has been unforgettable. Mount Emei holds special significance for me. This time, I stayed at Wannian Temple, a very peaceful temple with a wonderful atmosphere. I love the scenery and sea of ​​clouds at Mount Emei.

The cruise is a easier access for closest view of giant Buddha with a stiff hike up and down.

Wanfu Cave is definitely worth a visit! The cave is incredibly cool and refreshing, a natural air conditioner. The stalactites and stalagmites are in all sorts of shapes and sizes, and the lighting creates a wonderful atmosphere. The walkways are well-maintained, making it easy for both the elderly and children to explore. It's a great place to escape the summer heat and relax; I highly recommend it!

We reached the peak a day before the first snow. We may missed the snowing experience but we felt great coz we reached despite rains and wet. We survived through the cold weather.

A light drizzle shrouded Mount Emei, with white mist drifting through the mountains, creating a scene of ethereal beauty. Ancient trees and babbling brooks added to the serene tranquility amidst the rain. Winding stone steps disappeared into the sea of ​​clouds, and the distant sound of temple bells echoed softly in the mist. Though the grandeur of a clear sky was absent, the misty, Zen-like atmosphere offered a unique and serene charm to Mount Emei.

Friends, I have to recommend this hot spring! The environment is fantastic, the hot spring pools are clean and plentiful, and there are different therapeutic options to choose from. The water temperature is just right, soaking in it is incredibly comfortable, and fatigue instantly disappears. The service is also very attentive, and the staff are warm and friendly. Snacks and drinks are constantly available, and the quality is good. It's excellent value for money, I'll definitely come back next time!
