My first visit to Leshan definitely wasn’t a successful one, very far from it actually. I got to Chengdu on Sunday so thought it would be best to head to the PSB office the very next day as wasn’t sure how long it would take to arrange everything.

How art thou Dafo?
Leshan...Oriental Buddha Park...Dafo...up Emeishan to the Golden Summit...even stayed at the Teddy Bear Hotel...probably had their speciality...a banana split. Fantastic adventure Anna.
