Description

See the world’s largest stone Buddha statue on a private guided tour from Chengdu. Marvel at the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Grand Buddha of Leshan, visit ancient Buddhist temples, and enjoy a scenic boat cruise on the river.
Be picked up from your hotel in Chengdu and take a 2-hour drive to the Leshan Grand Buddha. Upon arrival at Leshan, your guide will lead you to the Grand Buddha Temple (Lingyun Temple), located behind the Grand Buddha’s head. Marvel at the elaborate construction of its coiled hair, which is made up of around 1,020 twisted buns. Walk inside and marvel at the intricate sculptures and wall designs of the temple.
Then, follow your guide down the trail toward the left of the Grand Buddha. This walk usually takes approximately 30 minutes, but is flexible depending on any rest or photo stops you may want to make. Standing at an impressive 233 feet (71 meters) high and 92 feet (28 meters) wide, it is by far the largest carved Buddha sculpture in the entire world. Admire the grandeur of this structure as it towers over you.
For an alternative view of the Grand Buddha, take a boat cruise on the river (at own expense). After a full day of touring this World Heritage Site, sit back and relax as your private transport drives you back to your hotel in Chengdu.
