In the morning, you will be picked up at your hotel, and then be driven about 2 hours from Chengdu to pay a pilgrimage to the 1300-year-old and 71-meter-tall Leshan Giant Buddha which is the world's largest and tallest stone-carved statue of Buddha. This magnificent statue, depicting a seated Maitreya Buddha, as constructed to calm the turbulent waters that plagued the shipping vessels and killed many people each year in ancient time. The construction started in 723 AD, led by a monk called Hai Tong. It took 90 years to finish the project. On the right cliff of the Giant Buddha, there is a plank road built along with the Giant Buddha. From the top to foot, the plank road has nine turns, thus it's called Nine Bends Plank Road. The widest part of the road is 1.45m and the narrowest part is only 0.6m, and there are 217 stone steps in total. You will walk down to the feet of the Giant Buddha for a closer worship.

After the Leshan Giant Buddha Visit, you will drive about a half hour to Emeishan and pay a religious homage to Dafo Temple, which holds various religious ceremonies to pray for individual health, social property and peace of the world every year. It is usually the first stop of many Mount Emei Buddhist trips. This temple has three areas, including Buddhist Worship area, Garden Area and Buddhist Education Area, combing the function of Buddhist educating, Buddhist research and promoting Buddhism.
