Took the kids to see the pandas and the Leshan Buddha today. They were so excited about the pandas—couldn’t stop talking about how cute they were. The Buddha was huge, but the stairs were a bit much for the little ones. Still, they loved the boat ride.
Did the panda and Buddha tour today, and it was a solid mix of chill and adventure. Pandas were adorable, but the real highlight was climbing around the Leshan Buddha. The view from the top was insane! Totally worth the effort
Spent the day exploring the Panda Base and Leshan Buddha with my guide Wendy. The pandas were so fun to watch, and the Buddha was way more impressive in person than in photos. Took my time, snapped some pics, and just enjoyed the vibe. Really relaxing day
Loved learning about the pandas and the history behind the Leshan Buddha today. The Panda Base was cool, but the Buddha’s story really stuck with me—how it was carved into the cliff to calm the river. Such an interesting mix of nature and history
It drizzled most of the day, but honestly, it made the tour even better. The pandas didn’t seem to mind the rain, and the Leshan Buddha looked so dramatic with the mist around it. The boat ride was a bit chilly, but the views were worth it. Pack a jacket just in case
Before Chinese New Year, we went to Chengdu and visited the Panda Base and Leshan Giant Buddha, both places I’d been wanting to go for a long time. The pandas at the Panda Base were incredibly cute, and the Leshan Giant Buddha was really impressive. The trip wasn’t as tiring as I expected, since we drove to and from Leshan. The driver and guide were super friendly, and the guide shared a lot of interesting knowledge with me. I really hope I get the chance to come back to Chengdu next time!
Amazing trip from start to finish. Was a very enjoyable day out, and Mike, our guide, was great and incredibly knowledgeable. Everything was run on time, making the experience even better!
Had such a pleasant trip to see the pandas and the Buddha in Leshan! Ellen, the guide, and the driver arrived punctually at the hotel and took me to all the best spots for pictures while sharing fascinating insights about the pandas and Chengdu. We enjoyed a great lunch before embarking on a lovely boat ride to see the Buddha. Everything went smoothly from the reservation process to the end of the tour, and the spacious, clean car made for a comfortable drive!
The Leshan Giant Buddha is one of the must-see attractions when visiting Chengdu although it is located more than 2 hours away in the city of Leshan. Visitors have a choice of viewing the 233-ft stone carving from a built-in stairway in the mountain or riding a ferry, which is what we did. The ferry entrance is located far from the parking area but there are rickshaws that can take you there faster if you don’t want to walk. There were many local tourists on the day of our visit so the queue going to the ferry was quite long. The Giant Buddha stone carving is really huge up close, and it isn’t a surprise that it took 99 years to build. However, the once ferry passes the Buddha, it will immediately go back to the docking station to pick up more passengers so this tour was quite quick. If you come with a tour guide, he/she will be able to discuss the stone carving’s history, which is nothing short of fascinating. Very educational too, I must say.
Well organized, and our guide, Lily, helped us to the best areas to see pandas, which was great. Nice stop for lunch. The giant Buddha was great. I was afraid of the long time in the car combining the two, but with the level of confort provided it went by fast and was really worth it!
