During this time, because of the "Leshan Giant Buddha", Leshan also suddenly entered the field of vision of everyone (including me). Then, I planted the idea of going to Leshan to see the Big Buddha. In this way, at the end of September, he decisively started this Leshan self-driving tour with his girlfriends.

Before traveling, we also ordered a car from a certain hi. This is my first time renting a car and driving, and the rent on the first day was directly reduced by 100 yuan, which is simply amazing.

Day1 and Leshan

After

arriving in Leshan, it is more convenient for us to pick up the car and return it on the side of Leshan Station. This time we rented Tange, and the car was in good condition.

also saw the Leshan Giant Buddha on the way, although it was far away, but it was also a photo with the Leshan Giant Buddha.

Because our plan is to climb Mount Emei first, and then go to the Leshan Giant Buddha to see it. So, I drove by directly that day.

We drove to check in several gourmet shops. For example, the famous shrimp siu mai here is my favorite food. The shrimp siu mai here in Leshan is also super good. Then, I also ate tofu brain. Leshan seems to be a feature of tofu brain itself, soft, I think it tastes like cheese, haha.

After that, I ate all the way. For example, if you eat egg baked cake, bowl chicken or something. Usually, my friend loves to eat jujube cake, so I ate a little. But I think the jujube cake here in Leshan is the most delicious. The taste is very fragrant and super beautiful. This jujube cake is filled with walnuts and red dates, so it tastes so fragrant, friends.

In fact, Leshan also has a famous dish that is stilt beef. Unfortunately, it was late that day and we didn't have time to make it.

Because we plan to take an in-depth tour of Mount Emei. Therefore, I directly chose a hotel near Qingyin Pinghu that day. There are really a lot of hotels here, although there are fewer tourists because of the epidemic, but for the hotel, I think it is almost full.

The biggest difference between travel now and in the past is that tickets can now be bought on the spot, without wasting time at all. It's just cool and crooked.

After resting at the hotel, we went to find the monkeys. I really saw monkeys along the way, and I was very happy.

Before

seeing the monkey, we first saw the stone carving of the monkey. There are too many monkey stone carvings here, and the postures are also varied. There are monkeys covering their eyes, and some have small hands behind their heads, in short, some are naïve, and some are fierce and domineering. Although it is just a little monkey, it also shows various personalities.

On this day, we walked all the way to the natural ecological monkey area. Because of the epidemic, the management is still relatively strict, and everyone cannot get too close to the monkeys. This is probably also to protect the monkeys.

After seeing the monkeys, we went down the mountain.

Day 2 The day we continued the hike

We got up

very early the next day. In order to make it easier to climb, bamboo poles were also taken from the hotel as crutches. Personally, I think this road is still relatively difficult to climb, mainly because there are too many steps.

As I climbed up, it suddenly started raining in the sky. The sky was foggy, and it looked like drinking a fairyland. But there are also bad places, where the view from a distance is almost completely invisible.

I kept crawling and crawling, but I didn't expect to encounter a few wild monkeys on the road. They just stayed on the side of the road. Then, I saw a monkey staring at a passerby's bag. One of them gave all the steamed buns to the monkey, but unexpectedly, after the monkey found out that there was something to eat, he didn't let go and stayed around the little brother for a long time. I feel that the monkeys today are really smart and woody. Of course, it also feels scary to me. For the rest of the trip, I never pulled down the zipper against the monkey again.

Immediately after that, we went to the Thunder Cave. Because we were so tired, we decided to eat some food here and leave. There is a parking lot in Lei Yu Cave. Therefore, many people drive directly here.

There

are a lot of people in the hotels and restaurants here in Leihu Cave, so we found a restaurant to eat. I originally thought that the hotels in the scenic spot were all average in environment and the cost was high. Unexpectedly, the room environment was not bad, and even floor heating was laid. So, we happily stayed here and ate and drank here. I was really tired after walking down this day, so I felt very comfortable after a full meal in the evening.

We got up around 4 a.m. to see the most beautiful sunrise in the best position.

It was still dark and we saw a sky full of stars. Just seeing these stars makes us super happy. Slowly, the white of the fish belly in the sky became clearer and clearer, and everyone watching the sunrise became excited. At that moment, I felt that everyone's spirit was up.

Day3 The best sunrise we have seen

Then, the sky in the distance is getting redder and redder. Until the sun sprayed out, I still feel very excited when I think about it now. It was the first time I woke up very early to watch the sunrise with many people. Since then, I have been deeply obsessed with the feeling of watching the sunrise.

The

good mood after watching the sunrise lasted for a whole day, so I felt full of energy even climbing the mountain on this day. In addition to the sunrise, the sea of clouds I saw was also excellent, and I suddenly experienced the feeling of soaring through the clouds and fog in Journey to the West.

Then, we also saw Avalokiteshvara. I also saw it when I was in Sanya, and here is a golden bodhisattva.

I originally thought about going back to sleep after watching the sunrise. As a result, a sunrise made everyone full of energy. So, keep going. The next stop we went to was the Ten Thousand Buddha Peak. How wonderful is the scenery here? One by one, the mobile phone party stopped swiping their mobile phones and looked at the scenery intently.

Look at the grandeur of the Ten Thousand Buddha Peak, is it particularly vivid? This big Buddha is between the clouds, and I feel that the belief in such a high pagoda will be more real.

After coming down from the top of the Ten Thousand Buddhas, the whole person was very tired. Fortunately, there are places to sell snacks here, although the price is super expensive, but you have to buy it, friends. How expensive is the price, sausage is 15 yuan, corn is 8 yuan. Although in the scenic spot, the price is relatively high, but except here, the most expensive sausage I have ever eaten is 10 yuan.

Because we were climbing all the way, we were tired to the point of exhaustion. So, when we went to the Leshan Giant Buddha on the fourth day, we decided to cruise in the scenic spot instead of hiking. To make travel more comfortable.
