Day 3 - Leshan

We were brought to a jewelry shop in the early morning. As usual the price was highly inflated so we have to weight the cost of purchased.

Entrance to the shop


Some 镇店之宝 and no more photography beyond this point


Next, we proceed to the pier for a ferry ride to see the Leshan buddha


This is one of the oldest boat and no more in service, we just step over it to the other boat


A challenging walk across the bridge


Safety first, so must wear life jacket


View along the Min river


Everybody stay on the deck


A friendly boat?


This is the kind of boat we were ridding


More view


This is a tea house actually, Sichuan people like chinese tea


This is our captain, he is also our part time photographer....charging RMB20 per picture...no kidding :)


Some of our tour mates


Some caves and temples along Lingyun 凌云 Hill, you see it in 风云?


Sailing further from the shore now, this is Leshan city view


Nice Buddha craft on the hill


This is the Leshan grand Buddha up close


One more


You can actually climb the cliff if travel by foot


Full view of the grand Buddha


On the deck


On the way back
