Updated: December 13 , 2018

From every perspective you will be amazed at the scale and craftsmanship of the world’s largest and tallest stone statue, carved into the sandstone cliff where the Min and Dadu rivers come together. From the water it appears awesome and from the top you’ll appreciate the intricacies of the carving as well as the beauty and significance of the amazing natural site directly facing Mt Emei. Built over 1200 years ago and taking 90 years to complete, this statue towers 71 meters above the rivers.

Unforgettable trip

Jan 2025 • Family • Couples

Excellent tour guide that was very knowledgeable and courteous. Communication with the agent was smooth and responsive. I recommend to upgrade the hotels as you will get to stay at the Pig's Inn, which was a real highlight.

We started in Kunming and made our way to Shangr-Li, stopping by in Dali and Lijiang. The places were amazing and the agency was greatly supportive and flexible, catering very nicely to our needs (extremely appreciated when traveling with 1 baby and 1 toddler!!).

Pleasant and professional service

Dec 2024 • Solo • Couples

It has been a very pleasant trip to Chengdu, albeit my first visit to the city. The guide, Robert and the driver had exhibited exemplary services during this period. Very professional and detailed in introducing the sites visited. Look forward to visiting the city again.
