About Leshan

True to its name, Leshan is a “city of mountains and rivers.” The landscape here is magnificent, with many historic sites, and it is one of Sichuan's great tourist destinations. Mount Emei, in the area of Leshan, is one of the four great Buddhist mountains in China. Deep in the mountains there are many temples, suffusing the area with a serene Buddhist atmosphere. From here you can also gaze out at the sunrise and the sea of clouds. The Big Buddha Temple at Leshan is also a scenic spot you absolutely must visit. Designed as a statue of a seated Maitreya Buddha, it is a fine work of cliff-carving from the Tang Dynasty. Additionally, you can take a ride on the “living fossil of the Industrial Revolution”, as the Jiayang steam train is known. Chugging cheerfully along in the mountain wilderness, it showcases the elegance of trains made in the local area.

The colossal statue is about 70 metres high and over 1,300-years-old, making it the largest stone Buddha in the world, and by far the tallest pre-modern statue. It took an astonishing three generations of craftmen and 90 years to complete. When viewing the tall and majestic Giant Buddha, one cannot help but marvel at the wisdom of the ancients. In the absence of modern large-scale tools, they were still able to leave such a legacy.

The Leshan Giant Buddha, also known as the Lingyun Buddha, is 71 meters high and was excavated in the Tang Dynasty. After three generations of craftsmen, it was completed in 90 years. It is the largest stone statue in China. It has always been a Buddhist holy place. The incense in Lingyun Temple is very prosperous. It is a good choice to experience Buddhist culture here. In addition to going up the mountain to observe the Buddha, you can also choose to take a boat to see the Buddha statue. There are three gates in the Leshan Giant Buddha Scenic Area, the North Gate (entrance), the East Gate (Exit), and the South Gate (Entrance Exit). The bus drop-off point and most visitors enter the gate is the north gate, but the exit is in the east gate and the south gate. If you need to take the bus back and do not want to visit the sights of Ma Haoya tomb, it is recommended to go out at the east gate. Because it is not convenient to go out from the South Gate. Plus, if the luggage is stored in a small shop in the North Gate, you still have to go out from the East Gate and go back to the North Gate after walking about 200 meters to the left. In summary, the route from the north gate to the east gate is the best. The walls in the scenic spot are full of ancient stone cliff statues, which are all mottled.

Every time I come to Mount Emei, I have to carry a lot of photographic equipment. As a five-level scenic spot, the supporting facilities are very good. The only thing that made me collapse was the mountain road from Leidongping to the entrance hall. Obviously there is a road shortage that will not let our car go, each time we can only drag heavy equipment to work hard. Photographers need to be cautious! Lightly loaded! Lightly loaded! Lightly loaded!

Yongxing Lake is a relatively large attraction in Muchuan. It is along the lake and walks in the bamboo-lined path. Yongxing Lake is surrounded by green hills and bamboo, and you can also take a bamboo pole on the lake. Going on more than 200 steps is the highest point of Muchuan Bamboo Sea - Guanhai Pavilion. When you boarded the Guanhai Pavilion, you will have a feeling of openness and openness. Overlooking the surrounding area, you will see all the waves, and you will see the breeze and the bamboo sea swaying.

There are three wonders in Mount Emei, Sichuan: Sunrise, Yunhai, and Buddha Light. The golden dome sunrise, synchronized with the bells of the Buddhist temple. The dawn of the sky, the blue sky in the east, a straight silver light across the horizon, separating the heavens and the mountains, slowly expanding up and down. Suddenly, a brown band of light was knocked out of the gap between the heavens and the earth. Emei Jinding Guanyun, it is a kind of appreciation, it is a kind of enjoyment. On a clear day, standing in front of the rock, the vast expanse of white clouds rushing under the rocks, the mountain is like an isolated island, only the peaks of the lush. The sea of clouds is changing rapidly, sometimes it is tiling, called "cloud blanket"; sometimes the waves are called "clouds"; sometimes it is like mountains, called "yunfeng"; sometimes it is clustered, It is called "cloud group"; sometimes it is divided into caves, called "cloud hole". With the wind, the clouds are changing and magical.

The world's largest stone carving Maitreya Buddha - Leshan Giant Buddha. Leshan Giant Buddha is the world's natural heritage. It is the world's largest stone carving Maitreya Buddha. It is 71 meters high and is located at the confluence of the Three Rivers of Qingyi River, Minjiang River and Dadu River. The whole scenic spot is from Leshan Giant Buddha, Lingyun Temple and Fishing Village. Wuyou Mountain, Sleeping Buddha, Oriental Buddha and so on. Travel Experience Leshan Giant Buddha The whole scenic spot is still very large, it takes about 4 hours to finish. Many tourists have left the Leshan Giant Buddha on the Jiuqu plank road. In fact, there is still a large scenic spot behind the Leshan Giant Buddha. There are a lot of people coming to the Leshan Giant Buddha every day. If you want to take a photo of the Leshan Giant Buddha, you need to take it in the morning or after 5 pm. Visiting the Su Shi Garden at the top of the Big Buddha, there is a feeling of flowing water in a small bridge. To the tomb of Ma Haoya, there are the tombs of the ancients, and the back bones are cold. Then went to the fishing village, very few people, very quiet. But in the stroll, I found snake skin, scared to death, and pay special attention in the summer. Travel Guide Tickets: 80 yuan play time: at least 4 hours open hours: 07
