1000 buddha cliffs and giant buddha Leshan

We take a bus from Chengdu station to Leshan then a pedicab to visit the Giant Buddha. This buddha carved into a cliff above the water is astounding. Its enormous and all began when one ambatious monk decided to start carving, to give you an idea of size its toenails are 6m wide. We viewed the buddha from a boat on the water and still have sore necks from gazing up at this amazing site. We then made our way to a small town called Jiajiang to visit the equally impressive 1000 buddha cliffs. There are infact around 2400 buddhas carved into the cliffs along the river. The area is relaxing and tranquil with small farms and housing dotting the river side. We visit a temple on the hillside where a monk blessed the boys. We headed back into the township and it was obvious they dont see many westerners here as we were quite an attraction. People were coming out of their shops to stare at the boys as we passed. We make our way back to the bus station and back to Chengdu. http://www.byokids.com.au/ ...your family travel gurus
