Leshan...and the world's biggest Buddha...

Having felt well enough to head off - I decided to get out of Emei and The Teddy Bear Hotel, and decided to go to Leshan and see the world's biggest Buddha on the way to Chengdu...

And boy - it's big. Check these pics out:

The path down the side of the mountain. In typical Chinese style - there was no orderley queuing - everyone just pushed:



Amusingly - I got the number 13 bus thinking it went to the coach station, but after about 45 minutes I realised I was back where I started. So had to take the number 13 again and head into town to catch the number 9 back to the bus station.

I actually got told to get off at the wrong bus station - but ran into Jennifer - who was also heading back to Chengdu. After some confusion about exactly which bus station we were at, we made it back to Mix Hostel, and headed out for food.
