Private Leshan Buddha Tour

After picking you up at your hotel in Chengdu, we'll head to Leshan, located approximately two and a half hours away. Upon arrival, we'll begin with a guided tour around the Leshan Giant Buddha. This colossal sculpture stands at 71 meters (232 feet) high and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, sculpted in the 8th century into the Mount Lingyun cliff.

The area is notable for being where several rivers meet. The Giant Buddha was built to protect those sailing in the turbulent waters, and the ferocity of these currents subsided after its creation. The reason behind this effect will be explained during the tour.

To reach the Giant Buddha, you can choose to take a boat ride, providing optimal photo opportunities, or climb the mountain on foot, passing Buddhist temples and ancient sculptures along the way.

We will conclude our tour at a local restaurant, where you will have free time to taste traditional Sichuan cuisine at your own expense. After lunch, we will return to Chengdu and drop you off at your hotel after 10 hours of activity.
