Part 3: A Relaxing Day at Chengdu Zoo

This evening, we will take a high-speed train from Chengdu to Leshan. The ticket price is 51 yuan. We will stay in Leshan for one night.

Tonight, we will be staying at Fodii Inn, a cozy hotel that feels like a home away from home. For more information about the hotel, please click on the link provided. I have already written a separate review of the hotel.

The next morning, the owner of the accommodation sent us to the bus to visit the Leshan Giant Buddha.

The bus will stop at the entrance here, which is the north gate.

The provided text is empty. There is nothing to translate.

The Leshan Giant Buddha, along with Mount Emei, was inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1996. It is also a AAAAA-rated tourist attraction in China.

This location offers a unique blend of natural and cultural attractions. Don't underestimate its size; it's much larger than just the Leshan Giant Buddha.

They climbed up and down the mountain like children.

The descent from the top of the Buddha statue to the bottom is a single-lane path, slowly descending step by step.

The Le Shan Giant Buddha, built over a thousand years ago, remains in pristine condition, a testament to the ingenuity of its creators. I am filled with awe and respect.

After reaching the intersection, we hesitated about which way to go. Suddenly, a Chinese man approached us and suggested we follow him. He insisted that it was a better route and even offered to treat us to a meal at his rice shop, which he owned.

Along the way, the guide was very helpful, engaging in conversation, taking photos, and suggesting poses. The service was excellent.

My uncle said this place was once used to film "The Deer and the Cauldron," but I can't remember which scene it was.

The food at his shop is priced according to the menu, and the taste is good. Actually, the uncle recommended fish, but my friend felt sorry for the fish, so we ended up becoming vegetarians by default.

No matter which restaurant you go to, Chinese vegetables are always delicious.

The front of the restaurant where we stopped to eat.

After finishing cooking for us, the uncle went back to serve customers. He really has a good business secret, doesn't he? If he just sits in the shop, there might not be any customers.

After finishing my meal, I visited the legendary "Rarng" bathroom and continued walking.

Visited the cemetery and saw a sculpture of Jing Ke's assassination attempt on Qin Shi Huang. It was quite fitting as I was just watching "Hero".

We arrived at the Oriental Buddha Capital. I had read in a review that some people had come here but did not want to pay the entrance fee, so they did not know what was inside. I think it looks very interesting from the pictures.

The 80 yuan entrance fee must be worth it. Let's follow and see.

Although it was getting late, we didn't manage to see everything. But let me tell you, it was **absolutely worth it**. You have to come here!

The grandeur of the site is truly remarkable, with both intricately carved sculptures above and below ground, creating a breathtaking spectacle.

The photo below shows an underground Buddha statue compared to the size of a human.

This is a large reclining Buddha carved into the mountain. Oh… it took me a long time to find it. Friends, do you see the reclining Buddha?

Ending our trip with a taste of Sichuan cuisine at Zhanggongqiao Street.

KFC chicken with spicy chili powder is delicious.
