Things to do in Leshan

We spent two days at Mount Emei without feeling tired or rushed. On the first day, we started from Baoguo Temple Station and went to the Golden Summit (a full package cost 370 yuan). First, we took a two-hour shuttle bus, then walked for about 30 minutes, mostly uphill. There were shops on one side and monkeys on the other, which you could feed and play with (they didn't attack). We walked and bought things along the way until we reached the cable car. The cable car was large enough to hold 100 people. It was foggy at first, but cleared up after we emerged from the sea of ​​clouds. The main attractions at the Golden Summit are for worshipping Buddha and seeing the sea of ​​clouds; the scenery was spectacular. On the second day, we took a bus from Baoguo Temple Station to Zhongshan Wuxiangang Station (20 yuan one way, 40 yuan round trip). This route mainly included Guanyin Pavilion, the monkey area, and the stream valleys. We watched and played with the monkeys; the scenery was beautiful, mostly flat, making it perfect for the elderly and children. We arrived at the monkey area at 1 pm, just in time for the staff to feed the monkeys. There were many monkeys of all sizes, on the stream banks and in the trees. We tourists were on the boardwalk viewing platform, and it was quite safe and undisturbed. In short, Mount Emei was beautiful, fun, and not tiring at all.

The Leshan Giant Buddha is the tallest stone-carved Buddha in the world and is worth a visit. However, elderly people and those with mobility issues should opt for a boat tour to see the Buddha, as it avoids the need to climb the steps.

Riding the Golden Summit Cableway, where over a hundred people share a giant cabin, you travel through the clouds with complete peace of mind! Thanks to human engineering technology, the arduous journey of traversing mountains and valleys is condensed into just a few minutes, allowing you to calmly watch the sea of ​​clouds and mountains rush towards you, making it easier to appreciate the beautiful scenery!

The giant Buddha is beautiful and unique. The trip is smooth, it's easy to go to the place. I really love how amazing the human can create anything like this in the past years without technology.

Wanfu Cave is definitely worth a visit! The cave is incredibly cool and refreshing, a natural air conditioner. The stalactites and stalagmites are in all sorts of shapes and sizes, and the lighting creates a wonderful atmosphere. The walkways are well-maintained, making it easy for both the elderly and children to explore. It's a great place to escape the summer heat and relax; I highly recommend it!

Great! Fun and delicious food! Long live Mount Emei! The cable car staff were attentive and helpful. The mountain was completely shrouded in fog, making it impossible to see the sunrise. It was quite nice though, as the sun didn't come out until noon. I saw the sun and each individual sun.

I've visited Mount Emei three times, and each time the scenery has been unforgettable. Mount Emei holds special significance for me. This time, I stayed at Wannian Temple, a very peaceful temple with a wonderful atmosphere. I love the scenery and sea of ​​clouds at Mount Emei.

A light drizzle shrouded Mount Emei, with white mist drifting through the mountains, creating a scene of ethereal beauty. Ancient trees and babbling brooks added to the serene tranquility amidst the rain. Winding stone steps disappeared into the sea of ​​clouds, and the distant sound of temple bells echoed softly in the mist. Though the grandeur of a clear sky was absent, the misty, Zen-like atmosphere offered a unique and serene charm to Mount Emei.

"Jiazhou has many ancient towns, and Suji stands out among them." Suji Ancient Town has fertile land, convenient water and land transportation, and is a gathering place for merchants. It was an important water and land port in Leshan during the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and also a must-pass place for pilgrims and lay Buddhists to worship Mount Emei.

I had long heard that Jinkou Grand Canyon was one of "China's Top Ten Most Beautiful Canyons," and after visiting it myself, I understood that this praise was well-deserved. Standing on the riverside boardwalk, the surging waves of the Dadu River roared below, the sound of the waves crashing against the rocks deafening. Looking up, the cliffs on both sides were as steep as if carved by a knife and axe, with a vertical drop of over a thousand meters. The reddish-brown rock layers intertwined with the tenacious green vegetation growing in the crevices, creating a magnificent and awe-inspiring landscape. The viewing platforms along the way are excellent photo spots. No need for elaborate composition; every snapshot is a masterpiece worthy of being shared on social media. Near the Railway Corps Museum, the Chengdu-Kunming Railway relics embedded in the cliff face are particularly moving. The rusty rails and the remnants of tunnels cutting through the mountains silently tell the story of the builders' arduous journey of overcoming obstacles and constructing bridges, adding a profound cultural dimension to this natural wonder. The scenic area wasn't too crowded, making for a pleasant and relaxing visit without the hassle of crowds. The only thing to note is that some sections have steep steps, so comfortable walking shoes are recommended. Visitors with elderly people or children should slow down. Whether you're a hiking enthusiast who prefers natural scenery or a history buff, you'll find something to enjoy here. Highly recommended!
