When in Chengdu, don't miss the chance to visit the magnificent Giant Buddha! It's just a quick one-hour train ride away, making it a perfect afternoon excursion.
The entrance ticket is approximately 9 euros, which also covers a shuttle ride to the main entrance. If you’re older than 60 it’s free. There's an option to take a boat ride to see the giant Buddha from the river for an additional 7 euros. In my opinion, the boat ride isn't necessary, but if you're aiming for that perfect Instagram shot, it's worth considering hopping aboard.
For an overnight stay, I recommend booking a room at Chanyi · Jiading Yuanzi Hotel. It's conveniently located near the giant Buddha and boasts a charming Japanese-inspired interior. If you’re seeking more information about the giant Buddha, the hotel can help to book an English guide to visit the park.
