On our trips to Leshan, we not only see the Buddha from the viewing platforms above, but we also walk down the stairs, descending from the top of the Buddha's head to the foot. For a full view, we also take a boat ride along the river to see the Buddha from afar.
You don't need to go to Leshan to see Buddha in China, but this one is quite special. Join me on a Chow Fun trip and see what surprises are in store for you!
