• Leshan Giant Buddha (Da Fo) - Start your day by meeting your knowledgeable and friendly personal guide in the lobby of your Chengdu Downtown hotel in the morning. You’ll then be transferred in an air-conditioned vehicle to the Leshan Giant Buddha (approximately 2.5 hours). Relax during the journey and take in the beautiful countryside views.

As a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the construction of the Leshan Buddha began in 713 during the Tang Dynasty and was completed in 803, taking over 90 years to carve. Thousands of workers dedicated their efforts and wisdom to this project. The Giant Buddha, the largest carved stone Buddha in the world, has been celebrated in poetry, song, and story.

Follow your tour guide to explore the entire area and view the Buddha from different perspectives.

• Lingyun Temple - Your first stop is Lingyun Temple, located behind the Grand Buddha’s head. Marvel at the elaborate construction of the Buddha’s coiled hair, made up of around 1,020 twisted buns. Walk inside to admire the intricate sculptures and wall designs of the temple. Then, take in the panoramic views of the three rivers converging below.

Next, follow your guide on a 30-minute walk down the left side of the Grand Buddha. When you reach the bottom, be awed by the 233-foot (71-meter) height of the largest carved Buddha in the world and capture fantastic photographs of this sacred site.

• Wuyou Temple - Next, explore the right side of the Buddha to discover Wuyou Temple, which houses an abundance of terra-cotta sculptures and calligraphic paintings.

Stroll around the temple with your tour guide to learn more about Buddhism.

Finally, enjoy a river cruise for a panoramic view of the Giant Buddha.

Afterwards, enjoy lunch at a local restaurant before being transferred back to your hotel in Chengdu.
