Itinerary
With pickup from your Chengdu downtown hotel lobby in the morning, expert local tour guide and professional private driver will accompany you to have a full day trip in Chengdu. You will firstly visit the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda, also known as Panda Base. An early start is arranged because the pandas are very active in the morning. There you will see lovely giant pandas eating and playing with each other, and have a chance to see the very cute baby pandas.
Later you will have 2-hour driving to Leshan, enjoy a delicious lunch at local restaurant upon arrival. Then you will start to explore the Leshan Giant Buddha. It was listed as World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1996. Leshan Giant Buddha is sitting faced with Leshan city across the river. It is no doubt the largest cliff rock carving Maitreya Buddha statue in the world. The total height of the Buddha is 71 meters. Its head is 14.7 meters high and 10 meters wide and its ear only is 7 meters high. You will take a boat to have a full view of the Giant Buddha. Afterwards, have a relaxing transfer back to Chengdu with drop off at your hotel to conclude the trip.
