Leshan Grand Buddha Scenic Area and Panda Park Day Tour

Introduce China's beloved giant panda as its most cherished mammal species. Explore the UNESCO-recognized Leshan Giant Buddha, an awe-inspiring 71-meter-high structure standing for nearly a millennium. Discover the captivating tale behind this architectural marvel.

Discover two of the most renowned UNESCO World Heritage Sites near Chengdu during this comprehensive full-day excursion. Commence your journey by picking up from your accommodation situated within the second ring of downtown Chengdu. Following the initial leg of the trip, transition smoothly into a scenic one-hour drive towards the Research Center for Giant Panda Breeding. Upon arrival, allocate approximately 2-2.5 hours for an immersive exploration of the facility, where you can witness the nurturing environment for over 170 pandas, ranging from the delicate pink newborns to the majestic adults reaching heights up to 1.5 meters.

Following this enlightening experience, proceed to the historical site of Leshan Buddha, situated some 2.5 hours away via expressway. Upon arriving, indulge in a leisurely meal break before embarking on the remainder of your itinerary. Your next destination is the awe-inspiring Leshan Giant Buddha, standing majestically atop a cliff face. Should circumstances permit, allow the knowledgeable guide to lead you to a close examination of the Buddha’s head and feet. Additionally, explore the nearby Lingyun Temple, where you may gain insights into Buddhist teachings and local spiritual practices.

Post-Leshan, return to Chengdu. Depending on the prevailing conditions, conclude your tour either at Tianfu Square, the heart of the city, or opt for an alternative package that includes a hotel drop-off service.
