Overview

  • Escape the morning rush with our relaxed 9:30 AM departure! This premium small-group tour (max 15) goes beyond the standard Leshan Giant Buddha visit. We uniquely combine UNESCO heritage with immersive Sichuan culture: watch a live Face-Changing show, enjoy Kung Fu tea, try hands-on woodblock printing, and savour an authentic guided Leshan food tasting for lunch. Plus, we offer ultimate flexibility by letting you choose your preferred way to see the Buddha—either a panoramic boat cruise or an up-close cliffside hike.

Activity itinerary

Leshan Giant Buddha (Da Fo)

  • 3h
  • Admission ticket included
Upon arrival at the Leshan Giant Buddha, you will have the choice of ONE sightseeing option (Please note: you cannot do both on the same day): Option 1: Scenic Boat Cruise Enjoy a relaxing boat ride on the river, offering the best vantage point to see the massive 71-meter-tall Buddha in its entirety. This is perfect for capturing full-body panoramic photos without any climbing. Option 2: Cliffside Walking Route Follow your guide to hike the paths and stairways carved into the cliff. This option allows you to get incredibly close to the Buddha's head and walk down to its massive feet, experiencing the grand scale of the carving up close.

Leshan

  • 1h 40m
Step into a traditional Leshan courtyard to immerse yourself in authentic Sichuan living traditions. During this cultural stop, you will experience: • Kung Fu Tea: Watch the elegant and skilful pouring techniques of a traditional tea ceremony. • Sichuan Opera Face-Changing: Marvel at a live, up-close performance of the magical Face-Changing (Bian Lian) art. • Woodblock Printing: Enjoy a hands-on experience of this ancient craft and create your own traditional New Year picture (Nianhua) to take home as a unique souvenir. • Local Food Tasting: After the cultural activities, your guide will lead you to savour Leshan street food specialities like sweet-skin duck, clear-broth beef soup, and regional snacks (dietary-friendly and non-spicy options are available) before heading to the Giant Buddha.
