Leshan Giant Buddha & Chengdu Panda Base

We'll pick you up from your hotel in Chengdu at the designated time and head to the Chengdu Panda Base on a 30-minute road trip.

Upon arrival, we'll spend about 2 hours exploring the reserve, where you will see young and adult pandas and learn about their characteristics and conservation status. You'll observe the pandas as they play, sleep, and eat bamboo.

Next, we will return to the bus for a 2-hour drive to the Leshan Giant Buddha. Here, you have the option to take a boat ride for a view of the statue or hike to the highest point for an up-close experience. The 232-foot (71-meter) sculpture is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, built in the 8th century to help control river flow at the confluence of three rivers. The tour will include views of tombs, temples, and other stone carvings.

We will conclude the activity at a local restaurant, where you can have a typical lunch if desired. Afterward, we will begin our journey back to Chengdu, concluding this 10-hour day trip with a drop-off at your hotel.
