The way down to the Giant Buddha's feet is by a series of staircases. Be extremely careful when you go down as the steps are very small and narrow and your feet will be a bit on the large side compared with the average local. The staircases are also very steep, narrow and very crowded so just take your time going down.

Hey, I should have been more careful, but I did have my camera stolen sometime in Leshan.
I also went on a tour with Richard Yang. "The Yang's Restaurant" is recommended in the Lonely Planet, and I would recommend the food as well.
Just don't go on his tour for $20. It's just that you can experience going to a market on your own. Well, I didn't gain much from the tour; I'm not an organized tour type person.
