5 Days Leshan Giant Buddha and Emeishan Mountain Tour

Today, head to Chengdu Giant Panda Base first, where you can get close to these cute babies who eat bamboo, play slides or climb trees together. You can also learn some interesting facts about giant pandas, such as their history, habitat, habits, etc. Giant panda visits are usually scheduled in the morning, as pandas like to sleep in the afternoon. In the afternoon, you can visit the most sacred Buddhist temple in Chengdu, Wenshu Temple, for more than 1400 years. Admire the magnificent temples, churches in the monastery, and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere of Buddhism. Then visit the People's Park, Chengdu's busiest local park, which is rich in folk activities and casual lifestyle. After dinner, stroll through the fabulous Jinli Old Street and explore the ancient traditions of Chengdu.

Today we are going to visit two sacred Buddhist sites, which are also great places to get stunning visual and spiritual touch. First, drive to Leshan City for about 2 hours and visit the famous Buddha. The Leshan Giant Buddha is carved on a cliff facing the river and is 71 meters high. It has a history of more than 1,000 years. You will take a close look at the Buddha on the boardwalk built on the cliff. After about 2 hours in Leshan, drive to the next Buddhist kingdom, Mount Emei, for about 40 minutes. Take a short tour of Baoguo Temple, one of the most influential Buddhist temples in Mount Emei, and take a rest after checking into the hotel.
