Leshan Giant Buddha

in travel •  6 years ago 

Hi Steemians

This is Leshan Giant Buddha. Not far from the center, about 20 minutes by car. There are 2 ways to see the Giant Buddha. By boat where you can get close and take photos or walking. The river was dry that day and we couldn't go by boat. These photos are provided by my mother in law

There are stairs to climb and you go around the Buddha. It is one way direction. Took 4 hours for the whole walk and it was very crowded. Not recommended if you bring kids.

But you get really close and get nice photos of the Giant Buddha

The giant foot shows how big the Buddha is compared to people

That is the biggest statue I have ever seen. They should have made the walk down into a big slide it would have made it much more enjoyable.....

@djohan, Leshan Giant Buddha is a huge statue I've ever seen. Peoples can climb top via steps. That was great moment to your life. You captured amazing photography.

thank you madushanka, yes it makes the humans feel they are small in front of Buddha

Awesome tourist spot, it looks like a monument or a historic building. And definitely very cool

thank you amuchtar, it is carving directly out of that mountain, took many years to complete

Yeah, it's really amazing
I was very impressed. Have a nice holiday @djohan

Hi @djohan,the walk must have been quite long, but it's worth it, your girls learn, and you enjoy and share ,your mother in law takes good pictures.

thank you martha75, yes the walk was too long for children, mostly only adults come to walk

Wow amazing Buddha . wonderful photography .really look this please.
Thanks @djohan

thank you goldcoin, yes amazing statue of Buddha

Wow! This is amazing! But those stairs really give me headache! I wouldn’t climb up and then down those stairs. But if there’s a giant slider for coming down, I would try it!!
The Great Buddha is very very BIG!!

thank you kaminchan, it isn't too long to walk but because there are thousands of visitors it became hours and hours of queue

To experience something like this in life would be marvelous and fantastic thanks for sharing this was an incredible post !

thank you blazing, an amazing experience to visit this place, except the queue was rather long

Whoa i had no idea your mother in law goes travelling often too. Does she live in China?

thank you kevbot, yes she lives in China, and we go travelling when we visit her

What an amazing place, that would be something to behold in person. The size of the people next to the feet of the Buddha gives you an idea of the scale of this statue.
