Lovely Leshan
Our day begins as usual with a breakfast at the hotel. I'm happy to report that the morning buffet did not include any yak that I know of. We quickly eat, check out, and jump in the van. We have a two hour drive just to get to Leshan. About an hour into the journey our guide turns and tells us we will be stopping at the tea gardens up ahead. I'm …
Leshan, Mount Emei and crazy transportation
Patrick talking: We saw the number 2 Big Buddha last weekend, so we decided to see the number 1 Big Buddha this weekend. This Buddha is located in Leshan, which is about a 3.5 hour bus ride west of Zigong.
The transportation all weekend left something to be desired. The initial bus ride is over 75% dirt road that is under construction, …
Big buddah, big traffic jams
... skills we guess.
The bus ride back was the same story, road works cutting the road down to one lane, and the same old traffic jam and horns blasting.
Tomorrow we are visiting Chengdu's Giant Panda breeding research base before catching a flight in the evening to Lijiang in the Yunnan province.
Looking forward to getting down into the warmer country side - less city's and less honking horns.

Leshan and Emeishan
From Chengdu I hopped a bus and stopped in Leshan for the day to see the Giant Buddha, then hopped back on the bus to continue on the Emeishan for some hiking in the next day or two.
Was very fortunate and got clear blue skies on the summit with a sea of clouds below. apparently fairly rare. it rains there 200 days of the year.

La bouffe:
Façon générale, au nord-est c'était surtout viandeux et sauceux. Vegétariens, s'abstenir. Une fois en Sichuan, on retrouve beaucoup plus de nouilles et de légumes, mais c'est plus difficile de trouver quelque chose qui n'est pas trop épicé. Ou il faut vraiment le spécifier: "bù là".

“A Place On the Lake”
Reviewed May 10, 2013
The room was large and had everything you would need except the bed was hard as stone. Otherwise great place to stay.

“Great hotel”
Reviewed Feb 19, 2011
There were very westerner friendly. They say they have a western restaurant, but that is only if you reserve you seat and order a day in advance. The cheapest rooms were nice, but a bit on the smoky smelling side. The hot springs was very nice, well kept and worth the trip. We would love to do this again in the spring or fall when the weather is better. There was an English speaking receptionist that was very helpful. The hotel was very picky about charging for every last thing in the room if it was lost or stolen, so read the welcoming book. They call them selves 5 star, but they are actually more of a 4 star hotel.
