It only takes a 1.5-hour drive from Chengdu Shuangliu Airport to reach Leshan City, where the world's largest outdoor Buddha statue—the Leshan Giant Buddha—awaits! 🙏 Standing at an impressive height of 71 meters, this masterpiece is carved into the mountainside, a true marvel of craftsmanship!

💫My Visit Experience:
This time, I chose the hiking route to challenge myself! Starting from the top of the Buddha and descending the mountain, I passed by an incredibly stunning scenic restroom, which was so well-integrated with the surroundings that I couldn't resist taking tons of photos. Even the restrooms are this impressive! 🤣
Standing at the foot of the Buddha and looking up, I was truly awestruck. The Min River flows gently beside it, and I instantly felt the profound meaning of "The mountain is a Buddha, and the Buddha is a mountain." It was a soul-cleansing experience and a perfect place for New Year blessings! ✨
🌟Tips:
1. Arrive before 8 AM to avoid the crowds.
2. Wear comfortable shoes if you plan to hike.
3. Don't miss the affordable and authentic local snacks inside the scenic area.
📌I’m definitely coming back next year! Let’s make New Year wishes together!
