Nine-Bend Plank Road

To be honest, heavier people will feel shaky when walking on it.

Finally understand why the road to Shu is difficult, harder than climbing to the sky

There are so many people, you can go up and down on one side and see the whole view

Walk down along the winding plank road and look at the Buddha from the right side. Most of the time, it takes a long time to walk because there are so many people. The steps are very high and many people stop to take pictures.

It's super narrow and a bit steep in some places. It's hard to walk on it because you might be scared. And when there are a lot of people, you'll be disturbed by the fear of the people around you. But I still think it's meaningful to walk around. Haha

Walking along this plank road, I queued for three hours.

If you want to see the Buddha, you must walk along this plank road and get up close to the Buddha.

The road leading to the foot of the Giant Buddha is also completely carved out of stone. There are also many stone carvings on the inside of the plank road, which is simply amazing!

It's worth the experience to walk at the foot of the Buddha.

This winding plank road runs from the square in front of Lingyun Temple to the foot of the Leshan Giant Buddha. Besides floating on the river, it's the closest point to viewing the Leshan Giant Buddha from land. There are scattered grottoes along the stone wall of the plank road, but unfortunately, most of the Buddha statues have been destroyed. The plank road is narrow and steep, only wide enough for one person. Those with weak health should avoid it, as there's no way to rescue them if something happens. Furthermore, basking in the sun for hours on a bare square isn't exactly a pleasant experience.

The Nine-Curve Plank Road is steep and narrows as it descends, barely wide enough for one person. The queue for people to descend, constantly snapping photos, slowed things down. It took over an hour to descend from the Buddha's head to its base, and I was sweating profusely. From its base, the Buddha appears even more majestic: its head level with the mountain, its feet stepping on the river, its hands resting on its knees. The Buddha's physique is well-proportioned, its appearance solemn and majestic.

The Nine-Curve Plank Road is an important part of the Leshan Giant Buddha Scenic Area.

It's very high, so you have to hold the handrail to go down. The scenery is nice, but there were too many people when we went there, and a group of people were stuck on the stairs and couldn't go up or down.

There are several viewing platforms along the Nine-Curve Plank Road where you can take photos. As you go down, the road becomes steeper and narrower, and at its narrowest point, only one person can pass through.

It is a small path along the mountain. The road is very steep and is not recommended for the elderly. In fact, you can also take a boat to take a look at it from the front.

It's just people. But it's worth it to see the panoramic view of the Buddha.

If you want to go during the peak season, you must go early. We went in at 8 o'clock in the morning. There were few people and there was no pressure. 👍 When we waited, we found that the queue to see the Big Buddha was several kilometers long. It really took 2-4 hours to get our turn.

As you walk down the steps, the path becomes narrower and narrower until only one person can pass through. The walls of the plank road are covered with Buddha statues. According to legend, this is where the third prince of the Dragon King entered the sea.

Don't come here during the summer or peak season, as the 72-meter vertical drop will take you three hours. During the off-season, you can take a walk to the Buddha's feet to admire his face.

We arrived in the off-season and it took us half an hour to queue up. In the peak season, it may take 2-4 hours. Everyone should calculate the time well.

It is the ascending plank road that must be taken to reach the Big Buddha Scenic Area. It is not long and the scenery is average. I don’t know how it became a tourist attraction😂😂😂

The Nine-Curve Plank Road was built according to the terrain and is only accessible to one person. Fortunately, there are guardrails, otherwise it would be quite dangerous to walk on it.

We waited in line for almost two hours for the Nine-Curve Plank Road. Haha, it was still the off-season, but it was still worth the walk.

The stone wall on the right side of the Leshan Giant Buddha is actually more complete when you take a boat.

The Nine-Curve Plank Road is a passage from the head of the Buddha to the feet of the Buddha in the Leshan Giant Buddha Scenic Area. It was a construction passage dug in the past for the construction of the Buddha statue, so it is very narrow. In some places, only one person can pass through. During the peak tourist season, it is often blocked.

On the stone wall to the right of the Leshan Giant Buddha in Sichuan, there is a steep plank road that winds down from top to bottom to the foot of the Buddha. This is the famous "Nine-Curve Plank Road", which was excavated at the same time as the construction of the Buddha statue.

The "Jingbiantu" at the first bend of the plank road is finely carved with vivid images and beautiful lines. It is also engraved with pavilions and towers, and is a valuable material for studying Tang Dynasty architecture and stone carving art.

The widest part of the Nine-Curve Plank Road is 1.45 meters, and the narrowest part is 0.6 meters. It has a total of 217 stone steps that go back down along the cliff to the foot of the Giant Buddha.

The essential path to see the Giant Buddha offers a chance to admire it from various angles, and along the way, you'll find numerous grottoes and cliff carvings. However, we chose the wrong day for our visit. On the third day of the Lunar New Year, the Leshan Giant Buddha was incredibly crowded, and the queue for this section of the Nine-Curve Plank Road lasted a full three hours. Haha, consider it a form of spiritual practice!

You can reach the foot of the Leshan Giant Buddha through the Nine-Curve Plank Road. The plank road is narrow and steep, so you must pay attention to safety.

A part of the Leshan Giant Buddha Scenic Area is worth admiring!

There are two ways to view the Leshan Giant Buddha: one is to walk down the Nine-Curved Plank Road from the scenic area, and the other is to take a boat. We chose the plank road. It's said to be the path the builders used to walk, and one can only marvel at their ability to carve the Buddha in this way. The plank road isn't long, but the crowds of people taking photos made it take quite a while to complete. Since we went on a holiday, we spent over two hours in line, so it was a good idea to avoid waiting in line.

The road is steep and dangerous, like walking on thin ice on the edge of an abyss!

The plank road is very narrow, and some places can only accommodate one person. So it takes a long time to walk.

201612 The steep plank road from the head of the Leshan Giant Buddha to the foot of the Buddha has narrow and high steps. It is said that you need to queue during the peak season. We walked for a long time and my knee hurt when we got down.

Carved into the rock face to the right of the Buddha, the entrance reveals the Buddha's head before winding down the plank road. A cursory count suggests there aren't nine bends, but you can imagine the difficulty of its construction. Stopping on the plank road during busy periods is prohibited, but it offers a chance to view the seated Buddha from various angles, creating a breathtaking view at every step.

The Nine-Curve Plank Road is located on the cliff of the Leshan Giant Buddha. It is the only way to see the Leshan Giant Buddha. The road is a little steep, but there are guardrails, so it is no problem to walk slowly. There are usually many people watching the Buddha, so you can't go faster!

It was too crowded, and everyone on the plank road was rushing down.

The Nine-Curve Plank Road is located next to the Leshan Giant Buddha. It is the plank road that reaches the foot of the Leshan Giant Buddha. The plank road is not very wide, but when you look at the big river from the plank road, it is very open and has a heroic feeling of the Red Cliff Fu.

The timid ones would not dare to go down, it is very steep and dangerous

If only life could be like the first time we met...

It is a plank road that goes down from one side of the Buddha to the foot of the Buddha, and then climbs up. There are small Buddha statues carved on both sides of the plank road. Don't miss it~~~

It's great to walk along the plank road from the foot of the Buddha, stand in the wind and watch the lonely scenery of the three rivers converging at your feet.

The scenery is average. Maybe I have been to the plank road of Mount Huashan. I won't comment much.

The Nine-Curve Plank Road, located in the Leshan Giant Buddha Scenic Area, offers beautiful scenery and is a must-see for viewing the Leshan Giant Buddha. To view the Buddha in Leshan, you must descend the Nine-Curve Plank Road on one side of the mountain. This allows you to walk from the Buddha's head to its base for a three-dimensional view. After viewing the Buddha, you must ascend the other side of the Nine-Curve Plank Road to the summit. I didn't take any photos of the Buddha, so you can search online.

To see the Leshan Giant Buddha, you have to walk the Nine-Curve Plank Road. The path is narrow and steep, and it's a bit scary. Visitors should definitely wear non-slip and non-fall shoes, otherwise it can be quite dangerous. The scenery is quite beautiful, facing the sea. Now that the guardrails are higher, it's less dangerous. It's a perfect place to relax and relax in peace. The ancient artifacts are so well preserved.

I left before I had much fun, but overall it was good

The scenery is pretty good. I like to listen quietly in the garden.

I like this place very much, it feels very artistic.

It's very steep and narrow. I don't know if people with high blood pressure or heart disease can go there.

The stairs are very steep and we waited in line for more than an hour. The view from the top is quite nice.

The plank road is quite long, crowded and packed!

I finally got to see it, and I have no regrets about going there!

This is the only way to visit the Leshan Giant Buddha. However, there are many tourists and no staff to maintain order. Although the scenery is beautiful, you must pay attention to safety.

The plank road is quite narrow and looks scary, so those who are afraid of heights should be careful.

It's very high, winding, and narrow. It's easy to get stuck during holidays and have to wait a long time.

Very good! The scenery is very good, but the road is very dangerous, so be careful!

If you visit the Leshan Giant Buddha and don’t walk the Nine Bends, your trip would be in vain. Among the narrow paths and broken walls, you can catch a glimpse of a thousand years ago.

The Nine-Curve Plank Road is quite unique and a bit steep, but it is definitely worth it.

You can see the beautiful scenery of the confluence of three rivers, but it is still very tiring to climb up.

Walking on this Nine-Curve Plank Road is okay when there are few people, but if there are too many people, I advise you to give up. It's not a good feeling.

The Nine-Bend Plank Road here refers to the plank road next to the Leshan Giant Buddha. It is narrow, winding and dangerous. The turbulent Minjiang River is at the foot of the road. It is a bit thrilling, especially during the flood season.

The Nine-Curve Plank Road is a construction and worship passage left behind when the Giant Buddha was excavated in the Tang Dynasty. It twists and turns and is extremely steep.

The plank road is great and exciting. The surrounding scenery from the plank road is great and the view is very good.

Walk along the Nine-Curve Plank Road and admire the Leshan Giant Buddha up close. In front of you is the passage to the lower part of the Buddha, which is steep and majestic.

The Nine-Curve Plank Road, a construction and worship path left behind during the Tang Dynasty, twists and turns, and is incredibly steep. The path hugs the mountain on one side and the cliff on the other. In some places, it's so narrow that one must bend and lean sideways to navigate. Even with the protective railings, the walk is daunting. Even when tired, one dares not rest; one must descend to the bottom of the mountain in one breath. Countless small niches carved into the cliff face, depicting Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, have been completely eroded by thousands of years of weathering and rain. The Buddha's preservation is due, in part, to the 1,051 knots on his head, the ear holes, and the texture of his clothing—all ingenious drainage systems that mitigated rainwater erosion. It's also due to the fact that a pavilion was built atop the Buddha during its early construction, providing shelter from the elements. However, this pavilion was repeatedly rebuilt and destroyed, ultimately becoming completely obliterated during the Qing Dynasty.

The only path to the foot of the Buddha is a bit steep, so be careful when there are many people.

The plank road facilities are relatively ordinary, there are a lot of people queuing up, usually it takes two hours, the scenery is relatively ordinary, I personally don’t like it very much

It is a narrow path from the mountain down to the foot of the Buddha. It is very crowded if there are many people.

The water of the Minjiang River is no longer as clear as it used to be. However, when I walked through here, the breeze blowing from the river bank was still very comfortable. And climbing up was still quite tiring.

There is a plank road built along the cliff from the foot of the Leshan Giant Buddha to the top of the head. You can see the Buddha up close by following the plank road, but you have to be careful when watching, because the plank road is still relatively narrow.

There are two ways to get to the Big Buddha. One is by boat, and the other is to walk down the plank road from the mountain. I personally recommend taking a boat when there are many people, otherwise it will take more than an hour to walk down the plank road.

This is the plank road that leads up and down the Buddha. It is very narrow, but there are railings next to it, so it is safe.

The stone wall on the right side of the Buddha spirals down to the Buddhist temple, which is very steep and is a good place to take photos with the Buddha.
