Leshan Giant Buddha
This is a private tour without a guide, you can choose to buy tickets for mountain climbing or boat ride at your own expense.At 7:45 in the morning, your personal driver picks you up at the hotel with your name and drives to Leshan Giant Buddha for about 2.5 hours.You can choose to climb the mountain or take a boat and buy your own tickets. After the tour, return to the parking lot. When the Giant Buddha was carved, a huge thirteen story wood structure (similar to the one at the Rongxian Giant Buddha) was built to shelter it from rain and sunshine. This structure was destroyed and sacked by the Mongols during the wars at the end of the Yuan dynasty. From then on, the stone statue was exposed to the elements.The best way to visit the Leshan Giant Buddha is by boat, so you can watch the Buddha more fully. It takes about 2 hours to climb the mountain and about 40 minutes by boat. Leshan Giant Buddha is a 71-metre (233 ft) tall stone statue, built between 713 and 803 , depicting Maitreya.It is carved out of a cliff face of Cretaceous red bed sandstones that lies at the confluence of the Min River and Dadu River in the southern part of Sichuan province in China, near the city of Leshan. The stone sculpture faces Mount Emei, with the rivers flowing below its feet. It is the largest and tallest stone Buddha statue in the world and it is by far the tallest pre-modern statue in the world.

Fantastic!!!
I couldn’t have asked for a better day! Everything run smoothly, on time and comfortably! Not once did I feel rushed and ample time was given to explore at my leisure. Despite the language barrier with my driver and guide, I learnt lots and had banter and fun through a translate app! Highly recommended!! 100%!
Response from the operator: Thank you for your feedback! We wish you a pleasant life!

Wonderful experience with knowledgeable driver
Terrific driver that made the long trip very enjoyable and driver was very accommodating. Car was very nice as well. Only caveat is that if traveling solo, you will have to pay double the advertised price, but that’s normal in small group tours that you are the only person. I recommend this tour and the driver for those who don’t want to be with a large group.
Response from the operator: Dear guest, thank you for your recognition of our work and wish you a happy life!

Why this scores 62
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Leshan Giant Buddha and Jinli Ancient Street Day Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Chengdu.
How much does Leshan Giant Buddha and Jinli Ancient Street Day Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $84 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Chengdu usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Leshan Giant Buddha and Jinli Ancient Street Day Tour take?
+
Plan for about 10 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Chengdu is not rushed.
Is Leshan Giant Buddha and Jinli Ancient Street Day Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 62 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 2 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Chengdu, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Leshan Giant Buddha and Jinli Ancient Street Day Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Leshan Giant Buddha and Jinli Ancient Street Day Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 10-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Leshan Giant Buddha and Jinli Ancient Street Day Tour?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Chengdu can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Chengdu and add a light layer if any part of the 10-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Leshan Giant Buddha and Jinli Ancient Street Day Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Chengdu within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Chengdu?
+
On Outty we rank every Chengdu experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Chengdu Cooking Class with a Local Market Visit, Private Chengdu Day Tour: Giant Pandas and Jinsha Site Museum, Tuktuk Food Tour Through Chengdu's Local Eats. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Chengdu?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Chengdu?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
