Hiking Trip

The Giant Buddha is worth appreciating from several angles by walking along the riverside and then ascending to the top of Mountain Lingyun where it's located. The closer you get to him, definitely the more amazed you will be by his gigantic size. You can hike to the top of Mountain Lingyun, and reach to the Giant Buddha's head, then descend a short but steep zigzaging steps to its feet, feeling you do come from Lilliput. The hiking trip takes at least about 2 hours depending on your physical condition, so if you have no time for this 2-hour walking, ferry trip is recommend. Anyway, it is fabulous standing on deck, bathing the breeze on the river and having a panoramic view of the Giant Buddha and his two guardians, which are hidden in the blind corner when you are on land. Along your hiking way up Mountain Lingyun, you will see another image of Happy Buddha with a bare big belly, laughing and sitting in the Doushuai Hall (more details are given in Happy Buddha).
