Leshan Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
Leshan Giant Buddha Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
Leshan + GIANT BUDDHA + 71 meters tall!
Wonderful experience in Sichuan. You can take the high-speed train or drive to the location from Chengdu. Be sure to not go on a holiday! There are two parts of the park. The Giant Buddha and the Oriental Buddha Park, and you need to purchase tickets for each. It’s worth going to the 2nd park to see the Pharmacist Buddha, 10,000 Buddhas Cave, and the Lying Down Buddha! Be ready for some stairs, some long lines, and sunshine on days with good weather. I heard the boat tour also has a wonderful view!#LeshanGiantBuddha #Leshan #Sichuan #giantbuddha #awesomepic
Turning up the heat in Chengdu!🔥🔥🌶️🌶️
#yearofrabbit
City 2/3 in our #lunarnewyear travels was Chengdu! 🐼🌶️🎭
Chengdu has many local trademarks, which makes it a great city for exploration! When in Chengdu, every tourist should make time to:
1. See the pandas! 🐼🎋
2. Watch a face-changing performance at a tea house🍵🎭
3. Try Sichuan’s spicy cuisine, more specifically, hotpot!!! 🥘🌶️🔥
Our mouths were burning from the spicy flavors (you can see a photo of how RED the broth is from all of the peppers and spicy oil!) we had to buy several cups of milk tea 🧋 to get us through the meal. 😅
Face changing shows are a big part of local culture, and so entertaining! It’s kind of like a kung-fu meets magic show, where the performer will change his opera mask in the literal blink of an eye! 🪄🦹🏻🔮🎭
The panda park was also super interesting and educational. It was really cool to learn about how they are protecting this endangered species. 🐼
Last (but not least!!) the Leshan Big Buddha. Built over 1200 years ago, this magnificent sculpture hand crafted by dedicated Buddhist monks was breathtaking to say the least. It’s a UNESCO World Heritage site, man-made marvel, and something you should definitely put on your bucket list!!
If you get the chance to go to Chengdu, GO!! 😆 We loved this city, and definitely plan to return.❤️

BE ABROADABLE - Nat the Expat Giant Buddha | must see!!
Pictures speak louder than words ✌️
Getting There - train from Chengdu (1.5h), day trip
Attractions - Giant Buddha, scenery around the river
Food & Restaurants - local options all around
Sketching Leshan Buddha
Best option is to get a hotel nearby if it's not a daily trip. We had lucky to be in one small hotel with personal valley service. Parking is convenient and cheap on spot. Go in the afternoon just before sunset. Once you buy tickets, pass gate and 20-30mins of climbing. During summer with hot weather and humidity isn't so fun. Cicadas doesn't make it any easier. Also, some of places inside were closed like Cave-Thomb-Museum and food vendors. Carving this amazing statue is really mesmerizing. Plenty of time to do some selfies. Make sure you bring water and snacks. Left side was closed, but looked interesting with some small openings in rocks. Have fun.

Winter wonderlands worth visiting
1. Jiuzhaigou
Jiuzhaigou is known for its unique high mountain landscape, colorful lakes, waterfalls, and forests, and is hailed as a 'heaven on earth'. In autumn and winter, Jiuzhaigou is colorful, with waterfalls, lakes, and red leaves complementing each other, making it a sight to behold.
Jiuzhaigou is also an ecological treasure trove, with a wealth of wild animal and plant resources. Such as golden monkeys, snow leopards, and a variety of plants are hidden deep in the mountains. As a settlement of Tibetans and Qiang people, they have retained a rich traditional culture and customs.
2. Kanas
Spectacular snow mountains, blue lakes, golden grasslands, and rich animal and plant resources. Autumn and winter in Kanas, from colorful forests to a fairy tale world carved by ice and snow. It changes into infinite beauty throughout the four seasons.
Winter is long and cold, and winter in Kanas is covered with ice and snow. The scattered log cabins, the silver birch forest, the flowing meltwater, the rime hanging between the branches of the trees, constitute the god's self-retained land Hemu. The ancient Tuvan people guard their Baihaba.
3. Wangmangling
'If you don't climb Wangmangling, you won't know the Taihang Mountains, the world's strange peaks gather, why climb the Five Mountains'. Winter in Wangmangling is like a fairyland, with winter snow, rime, sea of clouds, sunrise, like a fairy tale winter in Wangmangling, beautiful and romantic. The mountains are full of pine trees, willow trees, and grasses are covered with rime and icicles, even the railings, pavilions, and stones are covered with a layer of ice flowers, there is a chill in the breath, and the eyes are like glass.
4. Emei Mountain
Winter in Emei Mountain is the most spiritual season of the year, like a dream. The soft snow scene and the misty hot springs at the foot of the mountain complement each other, making people yearn for it. The temples on the high mountains also add a bit of Zen, 'Clouds surround half of the mountain with snow, and flowers spit out a stream of smoke', which refers to Emei Mountain after the snow.
The Golden Summit has always been regarded as a heaven on earth by everyone. Looking up at the Golden Buddha, overlooking the sea of clouds, winter in Emei is the best time to watch, sunrise often accompanies the sea of clouds, and Buddha's light always likes to appear inadvertently.
5. Huangshan
Winter in Huangshan is the most beautiful and romantic season of the year. The strange pines and strange stones are dressed in silver, and they enter the world of ice and snow overnight, as the saying goes, 'Huangshan has beautiful scenery in all four seasons, but the winter scenery is even better'.
Rime, sea of clouds, snow scene, the clouds in the mountains under the 'favor' of winter, the water vapor condenses and adheres to everything on the top of the mountain, the mountains, strange stones are all in a daze, the white jade clothes are shining, and the eyes of the tourists are all ice flowers. World.
6. Yichun Kuerbin Rime
In addition to Jilin, Heilongjiang's Yichun also has rime. The rime in the Yichun Kuerbin Rime Scenic Area, when the sun shines through the morning mist into the forest, the ice and snow on the tree will emit a crystal light, a unique world, and it feels worth the hardship of coming. If you visit in the early morning, the mist is lingering, watching the best time for the rime to form, like a string of treasures hanging on the tree trunk
7. Gannan
Like Tibet, winter in Gannan belongs to him and all believers. Snow in Gannan, thousands of mountains and white snow, monks in red. The once brilliant grassland is dressed in silver, and the Yellow River, Tao River, Daxia River, and Bailong River are jade trees and jasper carvings at this time. After the snow in Gannan, it is quiet but not lacking in warmth,
Golden Temple - Nestled above the clouds!
⛩️🏯Nestled atop a mist-covered mountain, the Golden Temple is a divine marvel that captivates the soul. On a rainy day, its ethereal beauty emerges through the veil of clouds, with temples appearing and disappearing like apparitions.
🏔️ To reach this celestial sanctuary, a one and a half hour bus ride from Baoguo temple transports you to Leidongping, followed by an invigorating hour and a half uphill walk or a convenient cable car ascent. Opting for the walk, I relished every step, surrounded by serenity and tranquility. As I ascended, the air grew colder, demanding preparation for the summit.
🌄 The Golden Temple itself, adorned in resplendent gold, exudes a breathtaking radiance that beholds the beholder. For the intrepid, staying in one of the mini monasteries adds an adventurous touch. Alternatively, the top houses a selection of hotels, allowing the fortunate to witness awe-inspiring sunsets and sunrises. This sacred mountain attracts devotees and pilgrims from across China, seeking spiritual solace. Should you desire to offer incense or candles, I recommend procuring them in the town, as temple prices are steep.

Sunrise at Emei Mountain Top

Golden Peak Temple Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
The sea of clouds is one of the four wonders of the Golden Summit, as well as sunrise, Buddha light and holy lights. Telling the truth, I have seen Emeishan so many times. I have only seen the sea of clouds and the sunrise. The Buddha light and the holy light have not been seen yet. Almost every time I can see the sea of clouds, maybe this is a kind of fate.
No matter how many times I have seen the sea of clouds here, I still feel so beautiful. The feeling of watching the sea on the mountain is spectacular.
The golden domes of various angles, the level of the sea of clouds is not very clear at noon, and the afternoon is getting more and more beautiful. I also circle around the golden dome, and every time I come around, I will surround the golden dome. In the circle, I have to look at the beauty of the golden dome.
In the misty rain of Mount Emei, the Golden Buddha emerges through the clouds and fog
Carrying the expectations of our family, we followed the plan we had made earlier. Here we come, Mount Emei!!!
We set off from Ya'an at 7 am on May 2nd, traveling 97 kilometers via the Chengdu-Chongqing ring expressway, and arrived at the Baoguo Temple parking lot in an hour and a half. Despite the rain, our spirits were high . The shoe covers and raincoats we bought in advance came in handy.
1. Baoguo Temple (Baoguo Temple is one of the eight major temples of Mount Emei and marks the starting point of the famous mountain. Originally named 'Huizong Hall', in the forty-second year of Emperor Kangxi's reign (1703), Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty renamed it to 'Baoguo Temple' and bestowed a plaque. Nestled against Phoenix Terrace and adjacent to Fuhu Mountain, the temple is surrounded by ancient pines and cypresses, with its halls and pavilions set in a rustic and elegant environment, making it a sacred destination for visitors to Mount Emei.)
Through the guide signs, the children looked carefully and asked questions from time to time. Sometimes it's about appreciating the scenery, and other times it's about understanding the history and culture.
After a brief stop, we drove to the Huangwan Tourist Center parking lot, and then the owner of Lejia Courtyard arranged for someone to drive us to the hotel (close to both Wuxiangang bus station and Qingyin Pavilion). The rain was heavy, the road slippery and winding, and we were grateful for the shop owner's arrangements
2. After lunch, with everyone full of energy, the plan was: hike from Qingyin Pavilion to One Thread Sky to the Ecological Monkey Zone to Hongchunping.
It was drizzling all the way, but the 'big brother' of Mount Emei still kept the children highly motivated. Two elderly people and two children moved forward, while my wife and I fell behind .
After watching the Mount Emei monkeys , we saw the signpost indicating that Hongchunping was still 4.5 km away , and we decisively chose to return. Family health is more important than challenging ourselves.
We'll rest and set out again tomorrow. In the evening, we enjoyed a couple of drinks and some beef with pickled vegetables
3. We got up at 5:30 in the morning, boiled water, and checked the items needed for the trip. Woke up parents, wife, and children. A 10-minute walk from the hotel took us to Wuxiangang bus station, where we had breakfast (still need to eat well and stay warm on a rainy day )
We arrived early and didn't have to queue much. After the security check, we boarded the bus and set off for Leidongping
4. Hike from Leidongping to Jieyindian 1.5 km. No need to bring food to avoid the extra weight, as there are many delicacies along the way, such as smoked ribs, egg cakes, candied haws, camellia cakes, milk tea, coffee
5. Queue for the Jinding cable car 🚡. We chose the circulating cable car, which holds 6 people per car (didn't experience the round-trip cable car for more people, a bit of a pity ) Due to the heavy fog, we missed the feeling of breaking through the clouds and seeing the sun suddenly appear!
6. Walk to the Golden Summit. After getting off the cable car, there's still a short walk to reach the Golden Summit. (Perhaps this is what 'fulfilling a vow' means, you have to walk the path to fulfill your wish)
7. The Golden Buddha appears. Despite the fog, the Golden Buddha appeared and disappeared, which was quite spectacular.
There was no sunrise, no sea of clouds, no Buddha's light, no holy lamp. But the appearance of the Golden Buddha gave a sense of great seclusion
Braving the wind and rain to reach the Golden Summit is a journey of fulfilling vows.

Documenting my journey to Western Sichuan
Finally, I started writing a travelogue, a beautiful place worth a long time of settling. Since coming to Chengdu to study, I have always heard people around me talk about the beauty of Western Sichuan, and I finally had the chance to go and see for myself. We set off happily with friends, and as the sky gradually cleared, we escaped the hustle and bustle of the city and merged into the tranquility of nature, perhaps this is also a kind of happiness.
Above the plateau, I found that the clouds had already obscured the mountains, and the singing of Xiaxia occasionally reached my ears. We drove slowly into it, and the road and vehicles became blurred in the fog. After carefully reaching Zheduo Mountain, I found that, just like this huge mountain, the terrible altitude sickness was also difficult to conquer.
Perhaps it is the punishment of the nature gods for us city dwellers, every step feels as if there are heavy shackles on the feet, and the head is like wearing a jack, breathing rapidly, needing to rest every three steps. The road up the mountain is very dangerous, but above the clouds is another beautiful scene. After the test of the nature gods, we became qualified to appreciate the beauty, and for the first time, I saw the Western Sichuan that my friends talked about.
The breeze brushed my face, the green romance undulated, and the white snow mountains were hidden in the clouds, with the golden peaks shimmering. The scenery in my eyes at this moment cannot be described as beautiful, it is full of freedom, sanctity, and longing. The breeze blew gently, the grass swayed, and the cattle and sheep walked leisurely, and my heart gradually melted. In the city, there are high-rise buildings everywhere, they are very pitiful, they can never witness such magnificent scenery. And we have already blended into this world, the snow mountains peek out from the top of the clouds, watching us city visitors from afar, and we also tiptoe, watching this mysterious plateau land from a distance. It stands quietly there, supporting this piece of peace and beauty.
The Tibetan people of Western Sichuan are very enthusiastic, they firmly believe in some kind of faith, their eyes are passionate, exuding a sense of freedom. They live in harmony with the nature gods, jointly guarding their Shangri-La.
In a hurry, the sanctity of Western Sichuan is forever engraved in my heart. This is the only time I don't want to return to the city, longing to stay there forever.
We will definitely meet again, definitely will.

Sichuan's little Switzerland Heizhugou Mali Lengjiu! Super beautiful alpine meadows, good weather comes with a filter!
📍Detailed address: Heizhugou Scenic Area, Ebian Yi Autonomous County, Leshan City

🗓Itinerary:
Ticket office (mountain gate) —— Visitor Center —— Mali Lengjiu —— Visitor Center —— Beehive Rock —— Visitor Center
There are two attractions in Heizhugou, Mali Lengjiu and Beehive Rock, in two directions, so after visiting the first attraction, you need to return to the visitor center and then take a car to the second attraction.
【Mali Lengjiu】The scenery is very beautiful. There is a circular route inside the attraction. It takes about 3 hours to walk along the plank road. There are many observation decks and pavilions along the way. It is strongly recommended to walk the whole circle;
【Beehive Rock】is about climbing mountains. The scenery is average, but it is particularly cool and the air is fresh. We only walked for half an hour before returning. It takes about 3 hours to complete the whole journey.
📝Attention tips:
1. Check the weather in advance. The last section of the road is a county road and mountain road. There may be falling rocks. It may be a bit dangerous if it rains heavily;

The average temperature here in summer is only 20°C, making it a natural summer retreat.
This place is mainly divided into two scenic areas: Mali Leng One Day and Beehive Rock. Although not very famous, its beauty and mystery are hard to ignore. This place is so low-key that even its name is often overlooked.
Regarding ticket prices, the scenic area ticket is 50 yuan per person, and the scenic area bus and sightseeing car are 18 yuan per person (both of these attractions are included).

Heizhugou Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
Mali Lengjiu is a must-visit spot
⛳️ Mali Lengjiu is a mesmerizing place that will captivate your heart, picturesque and heavenly, a scene that is only found above the skies.
🏝 Two-day trip around Chengdu (Heizhugou in Ebian Yi Autonomous County, Leshan)
Mali Lengjiu in the Yi language means: a meadow full of blooming flowers. It's a place that sounds romantic just by its name, with fresh flowers, meadows, and herds of cattle and sheep in their natural habitat.
🏝 Located in the Heizhugou Scenic Area of Ebian Yi Autonomous County, Leshan City, it is known as 'China's Bermuda,' and it truly lives up to its name. Here you can experience the healing brought by the scenery in front of you, as well as the quietness without network or disturbances, allowing you to fully enjoy the gifts of nature. (Remember to bring cash)
🏝 The Heizhugou Scenic Area is divided into two smaller scenic spots, Mali Lengjiu is just one of them, the other side is a natural oxygen bar that requires hiking up the mountain.
Heizhugou Scenic Area
Mali Lengjiu
Yi language is a meadow covered with flowers, just like a cloud grass garden hidden deep in the mountains, where you can see at a glance the meadows, stone steps, streams, big trees, wildflowers, wooden houses, cattle and horses, so beautiful that it cannot be described in words. Entering here gives the illusion of being in Xinjiang. It's very suitable for emptying everything, very healing; a great place for taking photos and checking in. The whole scenic area is a loop (recommended to walk clockwise), mainly for mountain climbing, primitive forests, dancing shadows of trees, accompanied by streams, hiking up, the babbling water is very cool, a perfect forest oxygen bar, and occasionally you can meet little squirrels, incredibly cozy;
Two attractions require the purchase of a sightseeing car ticket within the scenic area for 18 yuan/person
Scenic area ticket is 50 yuan/person. Book online in advance for 48 yuan/person
I never expected there to be such a niche secret spot in the mountains near Chengdu!!
Mali Lengjiu, in Yi language, means a meadow covered with flowers. It is surrounded by mountains with a flat meadow in the middle, offering a very open view that is truly beautiful and healing! I never expected there to be such a niche secret spot in the mountains near Chengdu.
Location: It's recommended to drive and navigate to Heizhugou Forest Park
Ticket: 50r, sightseeing car 18r
About the attraction:
Heizhugou Scenic Area is located within Leshan, Sichuan, and it takes about 4 hours to drive there from Chengdu. It is also known as 'China's Bermuda' and is a national-level forest park. There are two scenic spots, Mali Lengjiu and Beehive Rock. The area is less crowded, with beautiful scenery and is very niche for photography, so you definitely don't want to miss it.
About accommodation:
1. For accommodation, you can choose the inns at the foot of the mountain in Heizhugou Town. There are many homestays here, mostly clean and hygienic houses transformed by the residents themselves, which is their only source of income. There is a big temperature difference between morning and evening, and it gets very cold at night, so the quilts we cover are also very thick and warm. Bring a thick coat when you go.
2. There's almost only fried potatoes, sausages, noodles, and dumplings available to eat in the scenic area, so be sure to bring some snacks.
Tips:
√ There will be a lot of mosquitoes here, so bring insect repellent, sunscreen, and rain gear as the signal in the mountains is very poor. Do not attempt to go to undeveloped areas.
√ The place is very photogenic, just wear light-colored clothes and a pair of comfortable shoes
