Leshan, China

in #travel5 years ago (edited)

Hi Steemians

We continued our journey to Leshan. A short 45 minutes ride by bullet train from Chengdu. Leshan is Famous for its Giant Buddha which is made by carving the mountain into Buddha shape

The train from Chengdu. If you use passports instead of Chinese ID then you will need to buy tickets from the counter manually. Otherwise you can book online and use machines to print out tickets and go straight to the gate

A lot less crowded than Chengdu station. You can go direct to Leshan from the airport if you want to skip Chengdu

Leshan is also famous for its food. Much cheaper than in Chengdu and many people from Chengdu come to eat here.

Thank you for viewing

I was surprised by how little traffic and people were there. I was expecting a lot more. Your gifs really captured the moment.

@djohan, Leshan also busy town like Chendgu. But finally you wrote Leshan is famous for foods. Also cheaper. So I believe more people go there for best meals.
