Today we took the bullet train from Chengdu to Leshan to visit the Leshan Giant Buddha.
Our experience wasn't the best, and then we had a very long journey home by bus!

Abominable brought me here
I don't understand?
It’s a new animated DreamWorks movie. The characters go see Leshan Buddha & it’s amazing 🤩
@@kellykawamura2948 Oh thats so cool!! Did not know that 😀
I have become a fan of yours, thank you for taking me back to my hometown for sightseeing! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Leshan is also famous for it local cuisine, but it seems that you have missed them. 😂
Yeah! With all the faffing around with taking the wrong bus, we missed it! 🙁
What should we have tried? maybe we can get it elsewhere? 🤔
@@RobandJenny Well, the best choice to feel authentic Leshan food is to go to a place named 张公桥好吃街. If you are not in Leshan now, you can find 甜皮鸭（duck with sweet skin）, 跷脚牛肉(a kind of beef) , they are also easily found. However, Leshan is worth going only for it's various foods！！！
Leshan potato chips, isn't it?
Rob & Jenny now there is a reason to go back😋😉
@@vincentyuan4266 我在乐山没吃别的 ，除了跷脚牛肉。但不是味道很绝！蘸料也很好吃！😂😂
😂😂😂Thank you for taking me back to my hometown where I was born. When I was a child, I often went to Leshan Giant Buddha to play. I miss my childhood very much! There are many delicious snacks in Leshan. It's very delicious. It's not expensive. It's very cheap. 😋😋😋😋
In ancient times, because the water flow was very fast and the area was dangerous to ships, it took Chinese 90 years， a thousand years ago ，to build this great Buddha，blessing for passengers . As a result of the construction of the Buddha, the water flow slowed down and accidents did decrease. Is it interesting that superstition unexpectedly meets science?
Yeah! I thought that was so interesting as well. We chatted about that at some point in the video. 😀
My explaination to this is because the budda is built, the ships have a reference point and are able to indentify their location.
I.e. the same as the uses of light house.
Nice video keep up the good work!
Amazing!
Very informative video, good job guys! Miss Chengdu so much.
Thank you! We loved Chengdu!
Your vids are awesome, cool background music and impressive content! Love from LA💗
Thanks for such a kind comment. We work hard to make them enjoyable to watch. We are glad to have so many people enjoy them. 😃
Nice to see some research was done before your visit.
Big Buddha bless you guys!
Haha! yeah, we are often too busy to research anything very well, but the train journey over gave me the opportunity to look into it! 😀 Thanks for watching!
Awesome video! Thanks!
Buddha bless both of you!
❤
A slight snowing day in E’mei mountain is really a great chance to travel as I went there.
Snowing? Now that would have been magical! 😀 Shame it was middle of the summer hehe 😂😂
For a person from the north, Southern China now is very hot and humid. But looks like you guys have a great time there. Nice video.
Luckily for us, the weather has not been too bad! We have had an absolutely brilliant time in China! 😀
Leshan is my hometown, so it feels really amazing to see some beautiful places of my hometown in your videos. 👍 Nice travel. Looking forward to your next videos.👍
Oh that's lovely to hear! 😃 thank you for watching. And we hope the next videos don't disappoint. 😃
I am from Leshan as well. Missing home so much. 😔
Amazing 👌
nice film! thank you for your good work!
Thanks for watching!!
I joined tour to visit this place in September 2006. The tour used medium size boat and ride us to the middle of the river to view the giant buddha. Great view to see it by distance.
Nice one! That sounds like such a fun way to do it!!
最近暴雨，在乐山注意安全🤗
乐山大佛对面有很多好吃的，🤣吃货们注意了
😀
豆腐脑、钵钵鸡、麻辣烫、蛋烘糕、跷脚牛肉、甜皮鸭、卡饼，不好意说饿了。
白天集中在老公园，晚上集中在张公桥。零散的到处都是。
@@user-ux5zw1kk9e 太恐怖，我们去竟然每一种都吃了…
I was there in May and there was no people at all :D , very unique experience!
Also Mount Emei is a good trip, very close to Leshan
Lucky you! Good tip for others
sweet couple❤️Hope u enjoy the journey
Thank you! 😀 We are loving our journey's everywhere! so much fun! 😀
I have been to leshan last December, leshan’s food is very good too.
Amazing journey！ Its interesting that I am from Leshan and now live in UK. 😀
Oh that's nice! We swapped places haha 😂
looks like so crowd in everywhere ,because this is summer holiday,hope you enjoy your trip.
Yeah, loads of people!
Thank you guys, you went to the Leshan City where I spent four years in my university. That's very relatable!
That's nice! seemed like a very organised (in a good way) place! the River and Buddha were very nice 😀
@@RobandJenny Actually you guys should sample some local snacks! they are amazingly delicious. And there is the famous Mountain Emei, 40 minutes away from city by coach. it's also a must. By the end of this August, I will go back to China from UK. Maybe we can travel together if possible.
四川南边最好吃，乐山冷串串甜皮鸭，宜宾烧烤，每周末都会从成都做动车下去吃哈哈哈，四川北边是吃牛肉和豆腐的哈哈😄
Welcome to my hometown:Leshan ^-^
Travel to Thailand is always the best choice
Yass 😁
welcome to my hometown.
Welcome to travel to China, I hope you can travel to Zhangjiajie and Nanyue Hengshan!
unfortunately we weren't able to go on this trip! 🙁 we loved China so I am sure we will be back soon! 😀
@@RobandJenny ok.朋友
If you are in Chengdu you should go visit CASA Chengdu - the brunch is AMAZING!
We have just heard about CASA! it sounds amazing! Unfortunately we have already left Chengdu as we are a little behind on the editing! 😀
It is a summer-holiday season in China, lot of people😂, stay cool though.
Asia is VERY HOT this time of year! 🙁
@@RobandJenny luckily, it's not the hottest day in Sichuan!
@@RobandJenny I guess back the europe is even hotter,crazy the climate change,here in China ,its really not that hot like before , a normal summer 😁
@@jy1045 yeah the weather back home is crazy!
@@RobandJenny from the other side ,thats why you can get a small backpack and traveling around in the summer ,here the winter is intense.
I would recommend Leshan style BBQ/grill. Very good!
We missed it 😭😭
As a local, highly recommend Jiuzhaigou valley to visit, that is one of my favorite place.
Everyone keeps saying this! But we thought it was closed still so we didn't go! 🙁🙁😭😭
作为一个本地人，你更应该了解，九寨沟现在处于震后修复中，并未对外开放。
Rob & Jenny I didn't even noticed that was closed for repair after arthquake. Sry for that.
陳大勇 还真没有注意到，最近这些年也到处在跑。
九寨沟真的超级美。不过因为上次灾害还需要点时间修复
thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching! ☺️
四川地区级城市乐山大概是最好的一个，有风景，有人文，好吃的东西多，就是乐山话与众不同，差别不是碟把碟。
热烈欢迎
😀
Hi, I am from Leshan! Welcome!
Hello there!
You should go to Suzhou, Hangzhou and Xi'an. They are both cities with Chinese classical culture. Wuzhen should also visit them.
I might do this next May.
Do it! but make sure you book the trains to take so you don't have the same issue we did! 😂😂
I believe you guys speak Chinese fluently. So, I am writing my comments in Chinese. 很好的视频。多谢分享。我很小的时候，爸爸带我去过乐山大佛，那是30多年前了。那时候没有这么多人的，我曾坐在大佛的脚趾上拍过张照片。
😂 unfortunately we do only know a few words in Mandarin
@@RobandJenny Oops. Sorry about that. I said I visited Leshan Giant Buddha more than 30 years ago when I was a little kid. I had a photograph of me sitting on one of the buddha's giant toes. 😊
WOW, welcome to my hometown!
Thank you!
@@RobandJenny I guess that you took the train from Chengdu South to Leshan on last Saturday morning, right? I was on that train too, haha! You should spend more time to taste the cuisines in Leshan.
the food in Leshan is very dilicious if you guys like spicy food.
欢迎来到中国乐山大佛，希望你们玩的愉快!
In chengdu the most famous Food is Hotpot 。really spicy hotpot
Surrender to Buddha 🙏
Namo Buddha 💙💙💙
欢迎你们
乐山大佛！！！
😀😀 It was great!
Que lindo ;）
Keep the smiling face up.....👍
😀😀😀😀😀😀😍😍😍😀😀😀
You guys should have visited the cave where the stone carvings are. I'm sorry you guys missed it.
I think we were a bit exhausted that day from the confusion of the trains and buses! Its a shame we missed it! 🙁
The way I see it your wife is becoming younger and younger in every video... Probably she's adapted with China's climatic condition 🙂
Haha! She is quite the beauty! 😍
@@RobandJenny Of course I should say you are a lucky guy. She seems very nice 😉 Take care of her till her last breadth...
Nice video. Thanks for sharing! The food in Leshan is absolutely amazing. Could have had lunch there instead. :)
Ah that would have been a better idea!
What? Wake up 4am in morning, and having a mass queque, it must be worthed
you two go more place than me in China, even I am a Chinese. jealous
😀
👍👍👍
我是中国山东省人。欢迎来到中国，我的朋友。（I'm from shandong province, China China welcomes you, my friend）
Hello I am the people here, my school is here, I suggest you go to the next Mount Emei
Thanks! 😀
It reminds me the 8 heroes in Legend of Zelda !
😀
这是我的家乡 欢迎你
im highly recommend to climb the Emei mount,its just amazing.about 3000m+height,this evening Iam coming from chongqing,Have you guys been to chongqing yet？the night view here is the top1 for me in China
It's on the list, not sure we can squeeze it in on this trip!
@@RobandJenny alright！enjoy your trip in china,its so hot recently.take care.
jiuzaigou is famous in SiChuan province ， you could google it
We heard it was destroyed in an earthquake 🙄
Rob & Jenny Im sorry ，I forgot it ，but now it has reopened
so many people have visited giant buddha
I think most of them at the same time as us! Haha
这是我的家乡哦
It is intercity train which initiate with C.Bullet train initiate with G and D
😀 thanks!
your wife is so cute! how lucky you are
Thanks! ☺️
🙏🙏🙏🙏🇱🇰🇱🇰🇱🇰
You guys are traveling in China in the worst time. It's hot, and huge crowds everywhere (summer vacation).
Valuable video. You guys are enjoying travel huh. BTW What is your next country? Is it Japan, Korea or Thailand? 😉👍
We are REALLY enjoying it! If you have never been to China it is definitely worth going to! 😀😀
Next country... You will have to wait and see... just kidding... I will tell you a secret, it is S. Korea. 😀
My hubby and I are going to Leshan this September. Do you think a boat ride is better than waiting 1 hour to go down? Thanks!
I don't even know if they do boat rides but yes I would say so if they do! Make sure as well to get the first train of the day because then you might arrive before all the tours (we got the second one of the day). Hopefully that will help!
We were at Leshan in June. The view from the waters is amazing. Boat ride is a must. And if you have to choose between 1 hour of waiting and the boat ride, I will choose the latter. Having said that, if you spend the time to go all the way to Leshan, you should do both (unless of course, you need to be somewhere else). We did both and it was the worth the queuing and jostling to get the best picture and also to stand in awe at the foot of the buddha and you will realise the enormity of it. From the waters, it is a whole new perspective.
Up till now (since my trip in June), I am still watching videos of Leshan Giant Buddha - that is how awesome it is. Enjoy your trip... as I did.
As a Chinese. I haven’t been those places. Sigh. I am looking for graduate and travel all over it.
Do it! So many great places to see and visit and lovely people to meet! 😀
Leshan is my middle name wow
leshan is the sichuan food`s Jerusalem
Damn and we missed lunch! 😭
Are you going to visit Beijing? It's my favorite city....
We sure are! keep watching! 😀
Rob & Jenny Beijing is the best!
I guess you missed a lot of delectable food
such a pity for you to miss the Leshan local food...
🙁 we know! But no time unfortunately! 🙁
you probably don't know that the whole island where the Leshan buddha locates is an immense sleeping buddha
Yunhan Wang 能否解释一下？😂
沙发1
我就想问一句，吃了火锅菊花不疼吗？😭
菊花疼说明你要去药店买药擦了。正常是没感觉的。
去成都一周拉一周的肚子饿
1hour to get down holy shit 😂😂😂
Yuppp
不热么？我都不敢出门了
Haha! it is about a month ago that we were there! but it was already quite warm! 😀
你的视频评论，中国人多于外国人 哈哈
they was a prediction about this Buddha say wen the water cover cover my feet's 50 years of bad luck will occur in the world water did go to is feet's over 3 years ago and see the world now !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
看你们现在在中国出行，很习惯了嘛，比我一个中国人还用的好各种交通工具。👍
😀
Those people probably will be arrested by the trip’s end
When you go to China's tourist attractions, you should pay attention to China's legal holidays. Otherwise, you will face the terrible situation of crowded people!😰
ahah! yes, i think that this can happen! 😀
重庆！这都不去？网红城市，旅游强市
Need ticket to visit leshan buddha?
Yes. You just pay on arrival.
@@RobandJenny oh, thanks, u still remember how much is it?
@@boeyzhanyin4531 I had a look in my notes and think we paid 80 cny each. We of course had to pay for the train and bus there and back though as well which I think was about 100 cny each in total.
@@RobandJenny wow, thank you for your details, appreciate it
@@boeyzhanyin4531 nws. Any time. 😀
why Chengdu?
Pandas! 😀🐼
Why not
china cat ChengDu is an excellent choice,have you ever been there ？
Fueron a ese lugar hermoso y se quejan de las filas, no merecen estar ahí.
说出来你可能不信，在B站上的播放量比油管多了去了
b站有嘛 我都没看到
B 站是啥？
@@DellDreamer名叫 bilibili,一个软件
好吧，全程听不懂！
You'd better download App‘大众点评’ that means popular comments，which can recommend where is interesting， and where the food is good in the city. Of course, it's in Chinese. You can use Google to translate it.
Thanks! :)
Chinese version of Yelp
Just leave that white guy and go for a chinese dragon
