Chengdu Panda Base & Leshan Giant Buddha ( L/ D )
In the morning, your guide will pick you up in your hotel, and leave for Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding. What you could not miss in Chengdu is the world famous Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding which is located about 25km out of Chengdu City. This huge institution replicates the natural habitat of the giant panda and is dedicated to preserving and increasing their population so they will not become extinct. You are able to get real close-up to some pandas and photograph them as well as the so-called lesser red pandas which really look and act like raccoons.
After lunch, continue to visit Leshan Giant Buddha. The Leshan Giant Buddha is a statue of Maitreya (a Bodhisattva usually represented as a very stout monk with a broad smile on his face and with his naked breast and paunch exposed to view) in sitting posture. The Buddha is located to the east of Leshan City, Sichuan Province, at the confluence of three rivers, namely, Min River, Qingyi River, and Dadu River. The statue makes itself the most renowned scenic spot in that city. In December, 1996, the location of the Buddha was included by UNESCO on the list of the World Heritage sites. Begun in the year 713 in the Tang Dynasty, and finished in the year 803, the statue took people more than 90 years to carve. During these years, thousands of workers had expended their efforts and wisdom on the project. As the biggest carved stone Buddha in the world, the Giant Buddha is featured in poetry, song and story.
Facing the river, the Buddha has symmetrical posture and looks which have been beautifully captured in its solemn stillness. It is 71 meters (about 233 feet) high, and has 8.3-meter-long (about 27 feet) fingers. The 9-meter-wide (about 30 feet) instep is big enough for one hundred people to sit on and the 24-meter-wide (about 79 feet) shoulder is large enough to be a basketball playground.
When tour is over, you will be transferred back to your hotel, free on your own at the rest of the day.
Mt.Emei Golden Summit & Wannian Monastery ( B/ L )
After breakfast, move on to the entrance to Mt. Emei. The 30-km ride takes only half hour. First take a 22-seat bus, then drive about one and half hours along the mountain road from the gate to the cable car station in the middle of the montain, then take the cableway up to the site near the summit. So walk about 10 minutes you will get to the golden summit – the top of Mt.Emei. Mt. Emei is one of the Four Sacred Buddhist Mountains of China. It was made a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1996.
After lunch we would take the sightseeing bus down to the middle of the mountain. By the cable car directly to where the Wannian Monastery locates at, we are sure to be surprised by the wonderful skill used to build this ancient temple. Walk down through the one-sky-line rock, monkey region and Qingyin Pavilion, we are going to arrive at the foot of mountain after one and a half hour. Get on our private car to go back Chengdu.
