Leshan

City, Sichuan, known as Jiazhou and Jiading Prefecture in ancient times, is located at the intersection of the Southern Silk Road and the Yangtze River Economic Belt. "The view of the world's landscapes is in Shu, and the victory of Shu is called Jiazhou". Leshan is rich in tourism resources, beautiful scenery and many scenic spots, and is an excellent tourist city in China and a national historical and cultural city. The most famous is the Leshan Giant Buddha Scenic Area, a national 5A-level tourist attraction located in Shizhong District, Leshan City, which is an important part of the world cultural and natural heritage of Mount Emei - Leshan Giant Buddha. In addition to checking in the Leshan Giant Buddha Scenic Area, I also checked in Wuyou Temple, Jiadingfang, Pingqiang Little Three Gorges, Suji Ancient Town and other scenic spots. At night, I also experienced a night tour of Lingyun Mountain and Sanjiang.

Shizhong District of Leshan City is also the capital of food. Listening to a good friend in Chengdu ridicule, "Outsiders go to Chengdu to eat, Chengdu people go to Leshan to eat", which is enough to see how delicious the food in the central district of Leshan City is. Stomp beef, bowl chicken, Linjiang eel shreds, sweet duck, tofu brain, card cake, spicy hot skewers, strange potatoes, Leshan barbecue, Leshan shumai, fried, ice powder, cold cake, soft ice and other delicacies, there are countless delicacies. There are various food streets distributed throughout the city, such as Zhanggongqiao Food Street, Shangzhongshun Commercial Block, East Street, Jiaxing Road Food Street, BMW Food Street, etc. in Shizhong District, Leshan City. Jiazhou, full of fireworks, satisfies the taste buds of diners from all over the world.

[Leshan Giant Buddha]

The Leshan Giant Buddha in Shizhong District, Leshan City, is famous at home and abroad. When I was a child, I saw it in books, newspapers, and TV, and the classic scenes in the martial arts TV series "Fengyun" were even more memorable. The Leshan Giant Buddha, also known as the Lingyun Buddha, is a seated statue of Maitreya Buddha, with a total height of 71 meters, and is the largest cliff carving statue in our country. The majestic and magnificent Buddha stands at the confluence of the Dadu River, the Qingyi River and the Minjiang River. The Leshan Giant Buddha Scenic Area, which consists of Leshan Giant Buddha, Lingyun Mountain, Wuyou Mountain, giant reclining Buddha and other scenic spots, is a national 5A-level tourist attraction and an integral part of the world cultural and natural dual heritage of Mount Emei-Leshan Giant Buddha.

There are two main ways to visit the Leshan Giant Buddha, one is mountaineering, where you can see the Giant Buddha up close; The other is to take a boat, which will not dock on the side of the Big Buddha, but can face the Big Buddha on the river. If you haven't had enough fun during the day, you can also visit Lingyun Mountain or Sanjiang at night to feel the other beauty of the Leshan Giant Buddha Scenic Area. At night, Lingyun Mountain and the riverside are brightly lit, the river surface is sparkling, and there is a cool light show using modern light and shadow technology.

[Wuyou Temple]

On the south side of the Leshan Giant Buddha, there is Wuyou Temple. After passing Wuyou Temple, you can reach the south gate of the Leshan Giant Buddha Scenic Area. You can also take a boat to see the Big Buddha at the wharf of Wuyou Temple. Wuyou Temple, formerly known as Zhengjue Temple, is located in the beautiful Wuyou Mountain, also known as Lidui. The thousand-year-old temple Wuyou Temple, founded in the Tang Dynasty, has a history of more than 1,300 years, and was built earlier than the Leshan Giant Buddha. The whole temple has green tiles and red walls, pavilions and pavilions, and exquisite layout. The halls and buildings such as the Hall of Heavenly Kings, the Hall of Amitabha, the Hall of Daxiong, the Hall of Guanyin, the Hall of Arhat, and the Hall of Wuyou are relatively intact. In addition, the scenic spot is free.

[Jiadingfang]

Jiadingfang is located in the visitor center of the Leshan Giant Buddha Scenic Area and is an ancient commercial street full of charm. The small bridges and pavilions are a bit like the Jiazhou version of the "Qingming River Map". On the ancient street of more than 500 meters, there are tea houses, restaurants, bars, stages, snacks, handicrafts, souvenirs, etc., as well as boutique resort hotels. After visiting the Leshan Giant Buddha, you can rest and wander here.

[Pingqiang Little Three Gorges]

The most recent national comic "Thirty Thousand Miles of Chang'an" is quite popular. I believe that many people have been broken by Li Bai's sentence "The light boat has passed the mountain". Li Bai's last famous poem "Early White Emperor City" made the world know the Three Gorges. The Pingqiang Little Three Gorges is the "Three Gorges" in Shizhong District, Leshan City. At the same time, it is also known as the Pingqiang Little Three Gorges, which is also known as the Little Three Gorges of Jiazhou, and the rivers in the gorge area are winding and beautiful, making it a good place to visit the landscape. There is also a peculiar scene here, that is, the stone ridges on the riverbed. It looks like a duck, and the locals call it a "stone duck". Now the Pingqiang Little Three Gorges Stone Duck has become an Internet celebrity check-in point.

[Suji Ancient Town]

Suji Ancient Town is the "first town of stomping beef" and an ancient town with a long history of more than 1,400 years. A clear Emei River passes through the town, and the banks are covered with white walls, black tiles, wood carvings and brick carvings of Ming and Qing dynasties. There is also an ancient bridge on the Emei River, and the tourists who come and go seem to be swimming in the middle of the painting. There are all kinds of shops lined up here, small bridges and flowing water, as well as quaint stone pavements and wind and rain corridors. Down the river, there is also a fish scale dam. It is a summer darling and a water attraction loved by men, women and children of all ages. In the midst of coolness and laughter, you can get wet to your heart's content.

Suji Ancient Town is known as the "first town of stomping beef", and it is recommended to check in the intangible cultural heritage museum of stomping beef in the ancient town, where you can learn about the history, culture and characteristic skills of Suji stomping beef.The entire intangible cultural heritage museum is mainly divided into four display units, which comprehensively present the past and present life of "stilt beef" from the perspectives of birth background, historical changes, ingenuity and skills, inheritance and development. After visiting the Stomp Beef Intangible Cultural Heritage Museum, remember to find a restaurant to taste delicious Stomp Beef.
