Leshan, a small city with an area of only 13,000 square kilometers, accommodates two wonders that are unparalleled in the world! Leshan Giant Buddha and Mount Emei

But

if you arrive in Leshan, only care about the beautiful scenery, miss the food, Sichuan hemp, then you are in vain!

I set foot in Leshan, it was already noon, as a senior foodie, the first stop must appreciate the food, take a taxi straight to [Zhanggongqiao Delicious Street]!

Leshan

The first impression is [lively], and the voices are booming! look at all kinds of diners who are searching or satisfied; The furnace is rising, cutting and stir-frying the Ma Li chef; a happy couple sharing golden silk roll candied haws on the roadside; Tourists leisurely queuing up to buy sweet duck pointing out and chatting, my tears almost fell! In 2023, I finally saw the long-lost [fireworks in the world]!

How can you bear it, start it!"

Several of them are famous food check-in places on CCTV special programs and Sichuan Satellite TV's special programs!

Pick a family and sit down. The bowl of chicken walks up, the stilt beef walks up, and one fish and two eat and go!

Sitting on the street table and stool, a round of wine and food, by the way, looking at the bustling diners, It only cost 100 yuan, and there were a lot of indescribable insights!

Eating and resting, perhaps due to the consistent sunny weather in the local area, I am not usually sleepy. So I wandered along the street to the west, admiring the plants with huge leaves and the buildings with window lattices, and couldn't help but come to the street entrance, and found that there was a river embankment similar to the Great Wall Duokou on the opposite side.

The river surface is very wide, large and small pebbles are paved at the bottom of the river, waterfowl live on the stones, the river breeze is gusts, and the water is sparkling! The wooden towers on the opposite bank are interesting! Looking south at the south, looking at a bridge across the river! The locals said that the bridge is the south entrance of the [Leshan Giant Buddha] scenic spot. It is also said that if you go north along the river, you can see the whole picture of the Leshan Giant Buddha here!

So what are you waiting for to go right away!

Stalls selling all kinds of fruits, snacks, and toys on the riverside road are dotted, and the teahouses in the stores are next to each other!Drinking tea and playing cards was full! Looking at the huge mahjong tiles in their hands, one hand barely holded, I was really surprised for a long time!

As the sky darkens, the style of the roadside also changes, and the teahouse has become a hotel with classical characteristics! Look across the river again, oh my God! The dark mountains were actually covered with various colors of light, and the light and shadow seemed to flow with the river! So beautiful!

I couldn't help but follow the light and shadow forward, and I was suddenly stunned! I see it... I see it...... I saw the Big Buddha! In the bright lights, the statue of the Big Buddha is warm and delicate, hidden among the surrounding pines and cypresses!

Listening to the introduction of the photographer next to him, he found that the entire mountain was actually a reclining Buddha, and the statue of the Big Buddha was located in the heart of the reclining Buddha. Wonderful!

There are rivers all around, the Dadu River over there, the Tsing Yi River behind me, and the Min River I am heading to! The Big Buddha sits firmly at the mouth of the Three Rivers, protecting tens of millions of people!

At this moment, I finally know what my indescribable feelings are, the food here, the tea house here, the roadside stalls here, the lively atmosphere of life here, and the fireworks in the world, all give me a feeling, [freedom]! What a real feeling!
