Explore the famous historic Giant Buddha

#100waysoftravel
Leshan giant buddha is one of key attractions when visiting Chengdu China. There are several ways to visit the giant Buddha, i have chosen the cruise option to cater for 80 years family member. Need to have upfront tickets booking as it is hot spot n ticket might not available on the spot during good season.
History of Leshan Giant Buddha: In 713, a monk named Hai Tong decided to carve a Maitreya Buddha statue to watch over the river, a project that took 90 years, until 803, to fully complete.
Tips& Learning from my oct 2024 visit: engage tour guide to help on cruise boarding n history explanation. Toilet is limited and the one near the cruise boarding area are without doors, it is hard n unacceptable for foreigners.
