About this activity

Discover China’s Sacred Wonders in a Single Day: Buddhas, Mountains, and Golden Glory

Cruise along the Min River to marvel at the Leshan Giant Buddha, a 71-meter-tall UNESCO World Heritage Site. This 1,200-year-old masterpiece, carved into the cliffs, offers breathtaking views from the river.

Ascend by cable car through the clouds to the Golden Summit (Jinding, 3,077m), home to the magnificent golden Samantabhadra Buddha statue. Enjoy stunning panoramic views from this mountaintop, often graced by a breathtaking “sea of clouds.” Keep an eye out for playful monkeys and, if you’re lucky, witness the rare “Buddha’s Halo” light phenomenon.
