Travel south from Chengdu to see the Leshan Giant Buddha—the largest stone-carved Buddha in the world. Day trips take you to marvel at the 233 feet (71 meters) tall statue, which is carved into the red sandstone cliffs at the confluence of three rivers. Most itineraries feature a boat cruise to see the full scale of the Buddha from the water, followed by a walk through the Lingyun Temple, while a guide will offer historical context on the 8th-century construction as you navigate the steep cliffside stairs. Excursions handles the long-distance transit and boat ticketing, and provide a structured route through this massive religious landmark.
