Waterfront Stroll

by mskwan

Do what the locals do, take a leisurly walk along the waterfront opposite side to the Grand Buddha. There are plenty of benches to sit down and watch people go by. For 2 yuan you can take a small ferry to the island (more like a sand bar) lying in the middle of the river between you and the Buddha.

El gran Buda / The Big Buddha

by elpariente

Leshan está a unas dos horas en coche de Chengdú .
A nosotros nos organizó la excursión el hostal , pero debieron de contratar un Taxi "pirata" que la detuvo la policia al salir de la autopista en Leshan ,
Nos escoltó el coche de policía hasta el Buda y allí nos dejaron , prometiéndonos la policia que volvería el taxi a buscarnos por la tarde . Al final del día no llegó volvió el taxi , tuvimos que coger un autobús y nos salió toda la excursión gratis pues pagó todo el Hostal
Separadas por los ríos está una ciudad super moderna llena de edificios y el templo en el que se aloja el Buda más grande del mundo .Impresiona verlo , su tamaño , las escaleras que tiene alrededor , siempre llenas de gente y el recinto de los templos y pagodas que hay alrededor , con unos jardines que da gusto pasear por ellos

Leshan is about two hours drive from Chengdu.
We organized the tour with the hostel, but they should hire hire a taxi "pirate" and we were stopped by the police when leaving the motorway at Leshan
We were escorted by the police car until the Buddha temple and they left us there, promising the police that the taxi would return to pick up to us in the afternoon.
At the end of the day , they didn´t come , we ought to take a bus and the hostel reimbursed us the full trip
Separated by rivers is a city filled with super-modern buildings and in the other side the temple which hosts the world's largest Buddha.
Impressive to see it, its size, the stairs, always full of people , the complex of temples and pagodas that are around it , with nice gardens to walk through them
