Prepare before traveling:

ID card, sunglasses, sunscreen, band-aids, Polaroids, headphones, disposable raincoats, power banks, chocolates, water glasses, snacks, clothes, casual shoes to book hotels (there are many homestays on the other side of the Big Buddha, the transportation is very convenient, you can book in advance, and the price is also very reasonable.) The B&B environment for booking a double bed room for 150 yuan per person is particularly good, very Zen)

It is recommended to

depart from Chengdu, travel freely, high-speed rail plus taxi, and mainly take the bus + ride the shared tram in Leshan City.

Visit

Chengdu East - Leshan Station

high-speed rail 54 yuan about 1 hour, after arriving at the station, Didi can take a taxi or taxi directly, Leshan Giant Buddha Scenic Area is in the city, about 12 kilometers away from Leshan Station, half an hour can be reached, taxi is about 30 yuan.

Don't take the locals' cars, they will take you to the messy attractions, which are actually the kind that were built by people in the later period (I personally feel that there is no need to go, I do not recommend it). Don't ask me why I know, I was deceived) The fare is expensive, and the attraction tickets are not cheap.

But since I have come, I will write about it, in case a friend is interested, you can go and take a look.

The

Oriental Buddha Capital

adult ticket 80 yuan/ticket

is the back of the Leshan Giant Buddha, the scenic spot is connected to one of the exits of the Leshan Giant Buddha, you can directly buy tickets for the Leshan Giant Buddha at the exit, and it is also an extension of the Buddhist culture of the Leshan Giant Buddha tourist attraction, focusing on imitating more than 3,000 Buddha statues at home and abroad. The biggest attraction is the seated Buddha in a cave as shown in the picture, which is said to have been filmed in film and television dramas.

Leshan Giant Buddha

adult ticket 80 yuan/piece

It is recommended to climb the mountain for the first time, and it is particularly spectacular to observe up close. The Leshan Giant Buddha is the largest cliff rock carving statue in China, the world's largest ancient stone carved Buddha, and has been approved by UNESCO as a "World Cultural and Natural Heritage"

According to the correct order of sightseeing in the scenic spot, the main entrance is a distance from climbing the mountain, you can take some photos, and you will pass by the cruise ship pier in the middle, where you can take a boat to see the whole picture of the Leshan Giant Buddha from a distance. (I originally planned to climb the mountain and watch the cruise once, but when I went, it was windy, and for safety reasons, the sail was suspended that day, which was a bit of a pity, but I can save it for next time to take my parents to experience it.) )

The

highest point of the mountain climbing route is near the Buddha's head, where you can see the carving art of the head of this Buddha statue carved by the mountain up close. and the structure and design of Buddha statues.

The Lingyun plank road on the left side of the Buddha can directly reach the bottom of the Buddha, and you can see the scenery of the Minjiang River from a distance when you go down the mountain.

The steps are high and all go downhill, so the elderly and children need to pay attention.

After getting off the exit, walk to the bus stop, and the scenery along the way is also very good.

I met several groups of children who came out to sketch, and some followed their parents to fish, catch dragonflies, etc.

The entire scenic spot is not long, almost two to three hours.

Laojie Coffee:

Come out of the scenic spot to have a cup of coffee and take a photo to check in

Tourists from

other places can go directly to Shangzhongshun Street, which gathers almost all popular stores and saves a lot of unnecessary transportation time and transportation costs!!!

We went to Jiaxiang Road first, then Jiaxing Road and finally to Zhongshun, and found that almost all the stores in the first two places had branches in Shangzhongshun。。。。。。

1. Xiaomao Restaurant

Braised Goose and Braised Hoof Flower are their signatures, the goose meat is very fat and big, the four of us ordered 1/4 and didn't finish it (plus stir-frying). The soybean beef goes well with rice, the beef is very tender, and the chili pepper enhances the flavor, which is particularly fragrant but not too spicy, even if tourists cannot eat spicy food. (The braised meat can be packed or vacuumed)

2. String girl fancy ice powder

The golden medal on the wall of the door shows that it is correct to check in to this store. Three fresh ice powder is tailor-made for people who don't love brown sugar! Sweet and sour and refreshing, a must-have for summer! My friends were instantly arrived by Amway. Shredded radish soaked in beans is sweet and sour, one is big, it is enough to eat one, it is recommended not to order more.

3. Adzuki bean begonia

The Jiaxing Road store is next door to Chuanmei Ice Powder. I ordered egg soup tofu brain, crack cake and egg baked cake. Leshan's egg tofu brain is really better than Chengdu's (tested in Chengdu the next day). Although it is an Internet celebrity store, the taste is still very authentic, the portion is also very sufficient, there is almost no thunder, and there are many cute illustrations and peripherals in the store. Business is very hot but the food is served quickly!

4. Ye Po Po Bo Bo Chicken

Granny Ye! I never get tired of eating. Similarly, the Leshan store tastes better than the Chengdu branch (maybe psychological?). I don't want you to think I want me to think [boss face jpg.] ）。 The popular flavors are red oil and rattan pepper. The dishes are well stocked for picky eaters (like me).

5. Haihuiyuan shumai

As a northerner, I personally feel okay, but my southern friend said it was delicious (and said it for two days). There were a lot of people in line, but the food was served quickly. Recommended flavors: Shrimp & crab roe (I didn't take pictures because I was in a hurry, you can search on the Internet)

6. Granny Ju's Mianmian Ice

King is the same style! It is very necessary to find an iced partner so that you can experience a variety of flavors! The ice is large and dense! Highly recommend the poplar nectar ice! Mango pulp also gives a lot!

8. Chen Laosan stomp beef

It feels similar to the taste of the last time I ate in Zhanggongqiao, and it doesn't step on the thunder. Attach the price list for reference.

(On the picture, they are mixed hot pot + braised blood + stir-fried shredded beef + fried beef liver + steamed beef)

9. Sweet duck

is selected according to personal ideas, You can also listen to the recommendation of local drivers (I don't think I can believe it, the reason why the time-honored brand is a time-honored brand still makes sense).

10. Li Laosan fried skewers

I ate This one I ate was recommended by the driver of the taxi. Very close to Leshan Station. After eating, I walked directly to the station and took the high-speed train back to Chengdu.

There are many fried skewers in Leshan, and I am not particularly interested in them, so I only chose a few skewers to try.
