| Page Views: 931 Last Visit to Leshan: April, 2002 | Sharrie's Leshan Grand Buddha by Sharrie - last update: Sep 21, 2002 |
The city of Leshan is about 1+ hours from Chengdu. I took the local bus & it was really crowded. There was no fixed schedule as well. As soon as it's full, it leaves. But, there are many buses, about 10-15 mins interval.
The Grand Buddha is quite a sight though you've to tag along huge crowds to get to see it. In my opinion, it's still worth the hassle. Afterall, it's the largest stone Buddha in the world carved over a period of 90 years (731-803AD).
Total Height = 71 m.

Looks like I'm not the only one with some unfinished business. ;) And yes, I should get to China. Can I camp? | tpal Mon Dec 10, 2007 16:21 UTC
Hi Sharrie, We are planning to visit China next fall and this may be one of our stops. Your page is very helpful. Planning is just begun and I have many transportation concerns but I enjoy the process. Thanks for the tour...Tom | deecat Mon Feb 9, 2004 03:00 UTC
Although it is still under construction, I want you to know that this is already a very interesting, descriptive few pages on a place I knew nothing about. I found it very worthwhile. |
