In depth
<p> The Leshan Giant Buddha can be viewed from the foot of the Buddha by descending along the winding plank road, or by boat from the middle of the river to see the entire view from afar. Not far away is Baoguo Temple at the foot of Mount Emei, the starting point of the pilgrimage journey. </p><p> In spring, take the Jiayang little train to Jianwei; the steam locomotive passes through golden rapeseed fields, feeling as if you've stepped back a hundred years. Don't forget Leshan snacks: Qiaojiao beef, sweet-skinned duck, tofu pudding—spicy, spicy, and fragrant are no less than those in Chengdu </p>
