CollapseWe’ll pick you up at your hotel in Chengdu and then drive to visit the Panda Research Base in the northern suburb of Chengdu this morning. The Chengdu Panda Base was founded in 1987. It started with 6 giant pandas that were rescued from the wild. Through 2007, it has had 110 panda births, and its panda population has grown to 62. It is a huge, beautifully landscaped park.
After lunch, drive to Leshan city to see the famous Giant Buddha which is a statue of Maitreya in sitting posture. 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.

I am well thankyou. It turned out to be a great trip. I have two excellent guides and the driver. Especially as Lakdun (not sure how to spell her name) was there to help me at the airport when my flight got cancelled. You might also be interested to know that I run spiritual retreats and pilgrimages ....

Typically Asked Questions from Our Clients
Asked by Ajal***
How much is the price and how much is the extra charge if staying alone in the hotel? I live near the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China (UESTC), is it possible to pick-up, if not please suggest the other place that I can visit the guide.
In your inquiry, you mentioned that you would like to join our 2-day Panda & Leshan Giant Buddha & Mt. Emei Bullet Train Group Tour on 27th. May.
But I am sorry that we don’t have group tours for foreigners. I am afraid you could only have a private tour, of which the cost will not be cheap.
We will come to pick you up since it’s private tour for you.
