This was spectacular.so many big Buddha's along the walk then you see the Giant Buddha. I suggest taking the boat tour to see it in its entirety. Alot of steep steps to negotiate to climb to the top. But super worth the visit.

Dec is a great time to visit too. The weather was great and there was not much of a queue since it is an off-peak season. Do book the tickets online via your fav app. And be sure to book the shuttle tram if you dont want to walk more than a kilometer or so to the main entrance. Be prep for a lot of walking and up and down MANY flights stairs. It is do-able, just a little tiring. Put on a good pair of shoes and even walking sticks for the elderly. We took a high speed rail from chengdu east which took around 45min. And then a didi to the ticket office. Easily doable as a half day trip. We did not hire a local guide to explain. There are many around who will hustle for you to engage them. Just politely decline will do if you don't need one. Be sure to carry your passports as they are your etickets as with most tourist sites in China.

The Buddha statue itself is cool to see, though I'm not convinced it's the best viewing experience from the feet. Maybe the boat is the way to go if all you want to see is the Buddha itself. The pipes and wires and repair work covered in plastic pants are a little jarring but I think they're slowly working on all that. Apart from that, I like that it's not overly developed. Yes, there are paved roads, temples and shops, but there's still a good deal of rawness to it, unlike a lot of other local attractions. The hike up (and down) isn't bad, but give yourself plenty of time, you'll need to queue up for who knows how long, and you may want to spend extra time to take in all that's available in the vicinity. You're gonna to encounter people jumping in queues, spitting on the ground, being led through a bunch of shops that will claim to be the way through to the main site, and people will try to sell you tickets that you don't actually need to see the main sight. I only got the ticket to see the Buddha ($80).

Overrated yes but a must visit when you are in Leshan. Short taxi ride from city. Walk from ticket office to entrance for some views but be prepared to climb up steps to get to the buddha. Piece of advise-get there when it opens to avoid the crowd and good photo opportunities. We were there 2 days and yhe 1st was a total chaos where we skipped the 3-hour queue to get to the feet of rhe buddha statue but returned next day 8am and walked straight to the bottom with no queue. There are also other places of visit within the park. Do not.miss them but again some places require some uphill climb. Once done get a taxi across the river to a food street and enjoy the food and view.

When visiting Leshan, the Leshan Giant Buddha is an absolute must-see. As the largest stone-carved seated Buddha in the world, the statue is towering and magnificent, standing 71 meters tall. From a distance, its scale is awe-inspiring. Standing at the foot of the Buddha and looking up, you can truly appreciate the exquisite craftsmanship and dedication of the ancient artisans, which evokes a deep sense of reverence. The surrounding scenic area is beautiful, with well-maintained walkways and lush greenery. Walking along the viewing platforms, you can admire the Buddha from different angles and even get a panoramic view of the confluence of the Minjiang River. While the site can get crowded, the layout is reasonable, so it doesn’t feel overwhelming. Ticket prices are reasonable, and visiting hours are flexible. It’s best to go in the early morning or late afternoon when there are fewer people and the lighting is ideal for photography. Overall, the Leshan Giant Buddha is not only a symbol of religious culture but also a breathtaking historical wonder that leaves a lasting impression.
