In the morning, drive about 1.5 hours to Leshan, appreciate the farmlands and villages along with the driving (If you go in the late March or early of April, then you will see the vast Rape Flower blooming). Upon arrival, you will be arranged to visit Leshan Leshan Grand Buddha which was completed in 803 of Tang Dynasty after 90 year’s construction and enjoys the fame of the biggest sitting stone sculpture in the world with a 71-meter height. Carved on the cliff face, the sculpture is well designed with perfect balance and effective water drainage system. Here you can choose to climb up the hill to visit the Giant Buddha and the temples behind it or take a boat tour to have a whole view of the Buddha.
After lunch at Leshan, head to Luocheng ancient town, a gem for those interested in traditional teahouse culture! Luocheng is renowned for its boat-like architecture: the two sides of its main street narrow down at both ends and widen gradually towards the middle, thus creating the oval shape of a boat. It is covered in traditional grey tiles and flamboyantly decorated with historic scenes and a smiling Buddha. Joining the locals for a cup of tea, you can really get an impression of what village life must have been like in the old days. Late afternoon head to Qianwei for overnight.
