Itinerary

Leshan Giant Buddha

3 hours Admission not included

This is a private tour without a guide, you can choose to buy tickets for mountain climbing or boat ride at your own expense.At 7:45 in the morning, your personal driver picks you up at the hotel with your name and drives to Leshan Giant Buddha for about 2.5 hours.You can choose to climb the mountain or take a boat and buy your own tickets. After the tour, return to the parking lot.

When the Giant Buddha was carved, a huge thirteen story wood structure (similar to the one at the Rongxian Giant Buddha) was built to shelter it from rain and sunshine. This structure was destroyed and sacked by the Mongols during the wars at the end of the Yuan dynasty. From then on, the stone statue was exposed to the elements.The best way to visit the Leshan Giant Buddha is by boat, so you can watch the Buddha more fully. It takes about 2 hours to climb the mountain and about 40 minutes by boat. Leshan Giant Buddha is a 71-metre (233 ft) tall stone statue, built between 713 and 803 , depicting Maitreya.It is carved out of a cliff face of Cretaceous red bed sandstones that lies at the confluence of the Min River and Dadu River in the southern part of Sichuan province in China, near the city of Leshan. The stone sculpture faces Mount Emei, with the rivers flowing below its feet. It is the largest and tallest stone Buddha statue in the world and it is by far the tallest pre-modern statue in the world.
