Couldn't Touch the Feet of Leshan Giant Buddha!

The first time I visited Leshan to see the Giant Buddha, I took a boat to view it from the river. This time, on my second visit, I wanted to get closer to it. However, the area near the Buddha's head was already crowded with people. I initially planned to go and touch the Buddha's feet, but when I saw the long queue—yes, a very long queue—and the signboard warning of a 2-hour wait, I decisively gave up!

Next to the Leshan Giant Buddha Scenic Area, there's another attraction called the "Oriental Buddha Park." Although this park is relatively newer, its appeal is no less than that of the Leshan Giant Buddha! The park is divided into different sections, each showcasing unique carving styles and techniques. As a layperson, I couldn't fully understand the artistry, but I found each piece beautiful in its own way! Regardless of religious beliefs, it's worth appreciating purely from an artistic perspective.
