Leshan, China
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
Leshan station
A lot less crowded than Chengdu station. You can go direct to Leshan from the airport if you want to skip Chengdu
Outside Leshan station
We use the Chinese version of Uber to get to our hotel
Leshan is also famous for its food. Much cheaper than in Chengdu and many people from Chengdu come to eat here.
I was surprised by how little traffic and people were there. I was expecting a lot more. Your gifs really captured the moment.
thank you edkarnie, traffic is only in big cities like Chengdu, Leshan is less crowded
Hi @edkarnie, I wish you a beautiful week full of pleasant moments and wishes granted
Blessings
@djohan,
I wish to see those foods i your next article! Nice journey and photography too!
Cheers~
thank you theguruasia, yes will definitely post it soon
@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.
thank you madushanka, yes most food is cheaper and tastier too, should have stayed here longer. Maybe come again next time. lol
Meaning: happy (Le) mountain (shan).
However, I am not happy that they mutilated an entire mountain for a buddha ...
thank you freedomshift, that's the attraction of Leshan and also the food is so yummy and cheap
Your trip is very fun, this can be an important information if we are on vacation there. Thanks for sharing.. @djohan
