Pick-up service within Chengdu's Third Ring Road before departing for Leshan. You can continue resting during the ride. Leshan Giant Buddha attraction (choose between hiking or cruise)

[Hiking Route] After arriving at the attraction's parking lot, walk along the riverbank to the mountain gate of the scenic area. Starting from the Chinese character "Buddha" inscribed by Su Dongpo, hike uphill past Longqiu Tiger Cave and the Wine-Carrying Pavilion until you reach the head of the Leshan Giant Buddha (approximately 20 meters from the Buddha).

During the cruise, enjoy the scenic views of mountains and rivers on one side and the cityscape on the other. The boat will stop in front of the Leshan Giant Buddha (approximately 30 meters away), allowing you to admire its full grandeur and take photos. (During holidays, due to high visitor traffic, the Leshan itinerary will only include the cruise.)

After visiting the Leshan Giant Buddha, take a bus to the parking lot near Wannian Temple on Mount Emei to enjoy lunch featuring Sichuan cuisine specialties.
