Amazing
Our driver Huang Ling was great. She took really good care of us, helping us getting tickets and to the correct entrance for the boat and the hike to the Buddha. Huang Ling kept in touch throughout the day to make sure we were okay. Huang Ling is very kind and professional. The Buddha is incredible.

Excellent Driver
The driver picked me up right on time in the hotel lobby (and brought me back just as punctually). Throughout the entire journey, he drove very calmly and safely. Upon arrival at our destination, he helped me purchase the correct ticket and escorted me to the entrance, where he subsequently waited for my return. He didn't speak a word of English, but thanks to a translation app, this wasn't a problem at all. I would recommend this excursion to anyone looking to visit the Leshan Giant Buddha in a relaxed and stress-free manner.

UNESCO World Culture and Natural Heritage
The Leshan Giant Buddha, located at the confluence of the three rivers in Leshan, Sichuan, is the world's tallest and largest ancient stone-carved seated statue of Maitreya Buddha. Its construction began in 713 AD and took 90 years to complete, finishing in 803 AD. The statue stands 71 meters tall, with its head level with the mountain top and its feet resting by the river, earning it the description: "The mountain is a Buddha, and the Buddha is a mountain."

The driver pickup at your hotel with private car. Its an independent tour be ready for a good hike. Driver made extra effort stops at our request. As per description, you have to pay for entry fees. If you are over 65 its free in most China national monuments. Its a UNSCO site that you will not missed.

The best thing was our driver Shi Jianhua. On time, very friendly communicative and with a lot of predisposition. He helped us and accompanied us to book the boat tickets and to access the mountain on foot. Definitely highly recommended to take care of everything.

Easy way to get to the...
Easy way to get to the Leshan Buddha from Chengdu. The driver, Huang, was nice and helped us buy the tickets, and we could explore it on your own, which is nice. No pressure to rush. The price is a little expensive.
