About Half-day Panda Base Tour (or Full-day Panda Base +Leshan Giant Buddha Tour)

Experience the best of Sichuan in one seamless journey, combining the wonder of giant pandas at their premier research base with the awe-inspiring grandeur of the Leshan Giant Buddha, a UNESCO World Heritage Site carved into a cliff face.

Local Legends & Stories

The Leshan Giant Buddha was commissioned in 713 AD by a monk named Hai Tong, who believed the turbulent waters at the confluence of three rivers were dangerous for boats and sought the Buddha's power to calm them. Legend says construction continued for 90 years, and upon completion, the statue's interior was filled with earth so it would not collapse from the weight of the stone.
