Eat and Play Guide|Detailed Guide to Eating, Drinking, and Playing at Leshan Giant Buddha.
😃【Introduction】: The mountain is a Buddha, and the Buddha is a mountain. Every tourist visiting Sichuan must not miss this attraction. There is a legend about the Leshan Giant Buddha. It is said that in ancient times, there was a demon in this place that often caused storms, overturning small and large boats passing by. Monk Haitong saw this and vowed to carve a giant Maitreya statue on the cliff, which is now the Leshan Giant Buddha, hoping to rely on its boundless power to 'turn violent waves into calm flows,' reduce the water's force, and forever calm the waves.

🔶【Lingyun Temple】: A temple next to Buddha Head Square, dignified and grand, full of incense. You can light a stick of incense here. At the entrance, you can get three sticks of incense, and the donation is voluntary (you can choose not to donate).
🔶【Buddha Head Square】: The first attraction after entering. As the name suggests, you can observe the Buddha's head here. You can take photos touching the Buddha's ears, eyebrows, and nose, each with different meanings (touch the head for good fortune, touch the ears for blessings, touch the nose for wealth, touch the eyebrows for happiness, touch the mouth for peace, and touch the feet for good luck).
🔶【Buddha Foot Platform】: The paths on both sides of the Buddha are under repair. You can go down the side paths, which are narrow, steep, and difficult to walk. Be careful on rainy days. There are several caves along the way that are great for photos. Once you reach the Buddha Foot Platform, you can look up at the Buddha and take beautiful photos.

Humanities Leshan, food Leshan, beautiful Leshan ⛰️! The first time I went to Leshan Giant Buddha Scenic Area, the experience was not bad. Leshan people are hospitable and welcoming. The weather is too hot 🥵 34℃. Looking forward to the next revisit!
Besides the big Buddha statue, Leshan scenic area also has countless notable attractions, such as: reclining Buddha statue, Lang Van mountain, O Vu pagoda. Coming here, visitors will have the opportunity to admire exquisite masterpieces, worship and show respect to the Great Buddha.Besides the big Buddha statue, Leshan scenic area also has countless notable attractions, such as: reclining Buddha statue, Lang Van mountain, O Vu pagoda.

location at China Chendu Lok Shan Buddha, a nice place with great view, fresh air! Ita worth for everyone, very nice place, Enjoy
Super shocking, after watching, my heart has been purified, slowly walk slowly, and my mentality is much calmer.
After coming in, it gives people a very fresh feeling. It is really spectacular in the earth palace. The Buddha statue is lifelike. Every portrayal is really special. It is worth coming here. It will never disappoint.
The classic is superb, that is, there is a little rain on the day, there are not many people, the family is very happy, the mountain is not very high, and it is not very tired. The parking lot outside the attraction is not very good, a bit tattered, not very formal.
