Leshan Giant Buddha & Chengdu Panda Base

Pick-up will be from your hotel in Chengdu at the scheduled time, followed by a 30-minute drive to the Chengdu Panda Base.

Upon arrival, you will have approximately 2 hours to explore the reserve, observing young and adult pandas and learning about these endangered species. Experience their behaviors as they play, rest, and eat bamboo.

Next, we will return to the bus for a 2-hour drive to the Leshan Giant Buddha. You can choose between a boat ride for a scenic view of the statue or a hike to the highest point for a closer look. Both options are available.

The 232-foot (71-meter) sculpture is recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and was constructed in the 8th century to manage river flow due to turbulent waters from the confluence of three rivers. On this trip, you will also see tombs, temples, and other stone carvings.

The tour concludes at a local restaurant for a typical lunch, if desired. Afterward, you will be returned to your hotel in Chengdu, finishing this 10-hour day trip.
