Frequently Asked Questions

Can I do both Leshan and Emei in one day?

It's a long day (10-12 hours) but doable. For a more relaxed trip, we recommend 2 days with overnight at Emei mountain.

How tall is the Leshan Giant Buddha?

71 meters — carved into a cliff during the Tang Dynasty (713-803 AD). It's the tallest stone Buddha in the world.

Do I need a lot of hiking?

At Leshan, there are steep stairs down to the Buddha's feet. At Emei, cable cars take you to the Golden Summit. Moderate fitness recommended.

Can I see pandas too?

Yes! Combine: morning Panda Base in Chengdu, afternoon Emei or Leshan. We can arrange this.

What is the best season?

March-May and September-November. Summer (June-August) is rainy and crowded. Winter offers snow on Golden Summit.
