The Leshan Buddha was amazing! I highly recommend doing the hike instead of the boat, it gives you plenty of time to enjoy the magnificient Buddha. I recommend going in September, definitely not as crowded as I imagine it gets other months of the year. Our car driver Master Chen was amazing! He was punctual, he came with us to the ticket office and helped us get our tickets. Leshan Buddha is quite far away but he definitely made the journey smooth. I can't stress it enough, great rider!! He then took us to Huanglonxi Ancient Town, and he pointed us towards the best street to stroll on. I also recommend doing this portion of the trip, since you get a picture of the old china housing style which is mostly lost in the big cities. This trip is worth doing and worth the 4h total of car.
