The scenic spot consists of Lingyun Mountain, Mahaoyan Tomb, Una, giant reclining Buddha, etc. The sightseeing area is about 8 square kilometers. The scenic spot combines the essence of Leshan landscape and human landscape, belongs to Emei Mountain National Scenic Area, and is a famous scenic spot.
Lingyun Mountain is next to Minjiang River with Lingyun Temple built in Tang Dynasty. A giant Buddha was dug on the mountain, with a height of 7 1 m and an instep width of 8.5 m, which is the largest Buddha statue in the world today. The Giant Buddha was built by Haitong, a famous monk in Kaiyuan in Tang Dynasty, and it took 90 years to complete. The giant Buddha is the statue of Maitreya, graceful and magnificent, and is praised by poets as "the mountain is the Buddha, and the Buddha is the mountain".
Mahaoyan Tomb is a tomb of Han Dynasty, and the Mahao area is relatively concentrated, and it is a national key cultural relics protection unit. What has been opened is a large tomb with three points in the front hall. There are exquisite carvings on the tomb door, cornices, tiles, arches and patterns are all the same. There are also many historical stories and animal reliefs on the tomb wall. It is a valuable material for studying ancient architectural sculptures, folk customs and religions.
Wu Youshan and Lingyun Mountain stand side by side on the bank of Minjiang River, surrounded by water, floating in the river like a pile of jasper. There is Wuyou Temple, which was built in the prosperous Tang Dynasty. There are seven halls in the temple, surrounded by lush trees, which is particularly elegant and quiet. Eryatai in the temple is the place where Guo Sheren, a writer of Han Dynasty, commented Erya.
In recent years, the giant reclining Buddha landscape in Leshan, consisting of Wuyou Mountain, Lingyun Mountain and Guicheng Mountain, has been discovered. Looking across the river, it looks like a giant Buddha lying on his back on the Sanjiang River, with a straight line length exceeding1300m. The discovery of the giant reclining Buddha added charm to the Great Buddha scenic spot.
"Ship City"-Luocheng Ancient Town
The architectural layout of Qianwei Los Angeles is very unique. The whole town is located at the top of the mountain, and the houses on the street are like a boat. The reason for building this town is interesting. It is said that during the Chongzhen period of the Ming Dynasty, a foreign scholar came here and saw that the local people were short of water and their lives were extremely inconvenient. They couldn't help saying a few words: "Luocheng dry dock, clothes are not long. If you want water to become a river, Luocheng will build a boat. When a boat travels in water, there must be water when there is a boat. " In fact, the local people think that rebuilding the building is a good way to solve the problem of water shortage, so they donate money to build it. As a result, there is a rare town in the world.
This boat-shaped ancient town is more than 2000 meters long and about 650 meters wide. The main street is north-south, with narrow ends and spacious middle. Street ups and downs, like a deck in the waves; The theaters in the street are towering into the sky. The Lingguan Temple at the end of the street is like the cabin of a ship. On both sides of the street, there is a shadow gallery about 200 meters long and 6 meters wide, which looks like a canopy, also known as "Chuantang Street". The architectural layout of Luocheng has attracted the attention of experts at home and abroad. 1983, the Australian authorities built the "China Tourism Satellite City" in the style of Los Angeles in Melbourne. As for whether Luocheng has solved the problem of water shortage after building the ship, only tourists can observe it themselves. It is said that due to the serious pollution of the nearby reservoirs, the groundwater is polluted, and the tap water in the town can only be used reluctantly. The quoted water is bought from the well water in the nearby countryside.
Shawan-former residence of Guo Moruo
Poet Guo Moruo was born in Shawan, 36 kilometers southwest of Leshan. The word Murray comes from the ancient name of two rivers in his hometown-ink is the Dadu River that meanders through Shawan, and Ruoshui is the Qingyi River near his hometown. Of course, the name you choose has something to do with your personality. The poet Guo Moruo is undoubtedly brilliant.
Guo Moruo's former residence is located in the middle of Shawan Old Street. It is a single-story building with four entrances and a bucket. There are 36 large and small houses with a construction area of 1 108 square meters. The former residence was built in Xianfeng period of Qing Dynasty. The outermost is a two-story business building, which is the room of Guo Moruo's parents and brother. The other is the ancestral hall where Guo Moruo 19 12 got married. Guo Moruo left three days after his marriage and didn't go home until his father died 27 years later. Behind it is the private school of the Guo family-"Suishan Mountain Pavilion". The whole Guo's former residence gives people a feeling of low depression and deep color. It is hard to imagine that a poet who sang the goddess was born here. The pedestrians in the street outside the door are in a hurry, and the city is full of people.
"Little West Lake"-Wu Tong Bridge
At the intersection of Mangxi River and Yongsi River, 25 kilometers south of Leshan, there is a small town with beautiful scenery, known as "Little West Lake".
Wutong Bridge consists of Zhugen Beach, Siwangguan and Qinglongzui. The three towns are separated by water, and the water surface is about 200,000 square meters. On the bare side, there are many ancient banyan trees with lush foliage. Tourists rest by the river and can see picturesque reflections everywhere. Di Siyuan, a poet in the Qing Dynasty, once wrote a poem praising the beautiful scenery here: "Willows are placed horizontally on the shore, and spring makeup is used to paint. Lights are everywhere, and the scenery should not let the West Lake. "
Wutongqiao water sports is very popular and is a famous swimming town in China. Every year during the Dragon Boat Festival, there are lively and festive activities such as dragon boat racing and duck grabbing.
lingyun temple
There is a magnificent couplet outside Lingyun Iron Temple: "The River of No Return; Buddhism comes from the west. " It is a rare masterpiece in the sea, magnificent. Unfortunately, people here pay more attention to the giant Buddha, but this joint name is silent. It's really a pity. Lingyun Temple, formerly known as Hongji Temple, is also known as the Big Buddha Temple because of its giant Buddha. According to legend, it was built during the Tianbao period of the Tang Dynasty, earlier than the excavation of the Giant Buddha. After the destruction, the existing buildings were rebuilt by the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and most of them were built during the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty. There are four memorial stone tablets on both sides of the temple gate, which record the experience of reconstruction in past dynasties. Lingyun Temple is a famous Buddhist temple in central Sichuan. The main building is composed of the Heavenly King Hall, the Ursa Major Hall, the Tibetan Scripture Building, etc. Each part is a quadrangle with strict layout. In the Hall of Heroes, people have three giant buddhas, namely, three-body giant buddhas (dharma body, body report and body report); Buddhism talks about samsara, also known as Sansheng Buddha (past lives afterlife). The abbot's room of Zuosi Temple has been converted into the South Building Hotel, and visitors who are interested in visiting the temple can enjoy the Buddhist landscape nearby. There are several towering Nansen trees outside Tianwang Temple, which are pleasant in summer.
Lingbao Tower
Lingyun Mountain is not only named Qingyi Mountain because of Qingyi River, but also named Jiuding Mountain because it gathers Phoenix, Qiluan, Lingbao, Jia Dan, Cui Yong, Looking to the Future, Xiaolong and Jiu Feng in Zhu Rong. Lingbao Tower is built on Lingbao Peak, one of Jiu Feng. Some relics are buried in Guttari in the world, and it is said that the ashes of Master Tong are placed in Lingbao Tower. Lingbao Tower, which was founded in Song Dynasty, is very similar to Xi Little Wild Goose Pagoda in appearance and style. The tower is a square hollow brick tower with 13 floors, which is hollow, with 5 floors inside and about 38 meters high. From the tower gate, you can climb to the top through the 95-level red sand. There are shrines on all five floors, and there are Buddha statues in them. Visitors can see a panoramic view of history from the top of the mountain.
Located in the dense forest between Duiyun and Zhurongfeng, Lingyun Mountain stele forest displays nearly 200 ancient and modern celebrity calligraphy steles, most of which are calligraphy treasures collected by Lingyun Temple, carved by the cultural relics preservation department of Lingyun Temple. Among them, the inscriptions of Huang Tingjian, Kang Youwei, Guo Moruo, Mo Bao and Zhang all came from Ya 'an. The word "poetry, calligraphy and painting" on the stone tablet at the entrance to the forest of steles is a collection of Deng Xiaoping's calligraphy. The forest of steles in Lingyun Mountain is a must for calligraphy lovers to visit Leshan.
Lingyun Mountain Ancient Cliff Stone Carving
There are nine peaks in Lingyun Mountain, namely Jifeng, Qiluan, Lingbao, Danxia, Cui Yong, Wangwang, Jiuri, Duiyue and Zhu Rong, also known as the "Nine Peaks", which has been a tourist attraction since ancient times. It is called "Emei in the upper court and nine in the lower court". Many poems and cliff carvings were left behind. Under the pines and strange cypresses, between the ancient Buddha and the new pavilion, you can see interesting calligraphy products. The word "Lingyun Yidu" at the gate of the Giant Buddha Scenic Area records the history of the volunteer service of Gudu in that year, and there is a small word next to the big word that means "no money", which shows that the ancients had the wind of benevolence and made future generations think deeply. The "dragon" above the "dragon" is about 3 meters long, with coherent brushwork and solid atmosphere, which is called "one-stop". In addition, there are more than ten inscriptions of modern people beside Lingyun plank road, which set each other off with a drainage Danshan and have their own infinite literary talent.
Dongpo memorial hall
Dongpo Memorial Hall was originally the shrine of Wei Zhongxian, a traitor in the late Ming Dynasty, and was renamed in memory of Su Shi, a writer in the Song Dynasty. This history gives us a new understanding of the difference between loyalty and betrayal. Su Shi, a native of Meishan near Leshan, studied in Leshan in the Song Dynasty. Later generations carved a statue of a poet here out of admiration for Mr. Dongpo. Mo Chi is said to be the place where Su Shi washed inkstones before washing the building. Because Leshan specialty is a kind of dark carp, it is said that it was caused by eating Dongpo's ink, so it was named "Dongpo cuttlefish". Besides delicious food, there are many scents of calligraphy. Dongpo Memorial Hall is the favorite place visited by literati in the past dynasties. When you come here, it is inevitable to be poetic and picturesque, so poetry and songs are extremely rich, especially couplets. For example:
This platform on the river is high, and I asked for it and returned. There have been several scholars for thousands of years. I traveled all over Shu, believed in Jiae's special show, and set off with a boat full of wine. (He Ji Shao)
Looking at the rivers and mountains of Baili, you can see the mountain light, and you can see Huangzhai Chibi here; Is a first-rate figure, on the integrity of the article, the predecessor is Bai Fu Qinglian. (Anonymous)
Laughing and cursing are all articles, asking what books you read in the past, and the bottom of the pen helps majestic; Guocheng people's metabolism is very fast, the resort is full of wine, and the romance in front of the building has existed since the Spring and Autumn Period.
There is a wine kiosk near Dongpo Memorial Hall, which is in memory of Su Shi and also a place for tourists to enjoy the scenery. The name of the pavilion is taken from Su Dongpo's poem: "Traveling with wine". When the moon is white and the wind is clear, it is also a blessing for tourists to come here with wine and get drunk with the mighty river sound.
Cave Tomb on Mahao River
Ma Hao is a place name by the Minjiang River. In Sichuan dialect, "good" often refers to the place where the river is wide and the river flows slowly. Ma Hao is located on the side of the spillway between Lingyun Mountain and Wuyou Mountain on the east bank of Minjiang River, not far from the back door of Lingyun Mountain, and it is the only place between Wuyou Temple and the Giant Buddha. The local cliff tombs are carved from natural red sandstone, and the caves are spacious, and some are tens of meters deep. Most of them were carved in the Eastern Han Dynasty, which was a unique funeral way for the ancients. The tombs of the Eastern Han Dynasty in Leshan are widely distributed along the banks of the river and cliffs. The high is difficult to climb, and the low is buried deep underground. Ma Hao area is the most representative because of its large number and relatively concentrated distribution. In the range of more than 500 meters, there are hundreds of graves, overlapping together, as dense as a honeycomb. There is a "Hana Tomb Museum" in the local area, which concentrates a large number of cliff tomb cultural relics collected from all over Leshan for people to visit.
Una ancient temple
Wuyou Temple was founded in the Tang Dynasty, formerly known as Zhengjue Temple, and was renamed in the Northern Song Dynasty. This is a Buddhist Zen (Cao Dongzong) temple. The buildings in the temple are built on the mountain and the layout is ingenious. On both sides of the mountain gate, the poems of Du Fu and Su Shi are collected and written as couplets: "The temple gate is high and the cave is wild; Cangya is half in the peach pile. " There are Tianwang Hall, Tomi Hall, Maitreya Buddha Hall, Guanyin Hall, Daxiong Hall and Luohan Hall in the temple. Among them, Manjusri and Pu Xian are carved with camphor wood, with a height of 3 meters and gold-plated body, which were shipped back from Hangzhou when 1930 rebuilt the Daxiong Hall.

There are many famous poems in Worry-Free Temple, among which Zhao Xi, a famous calligrapher in modern times, is the most famous. Zhong Bi's Stone Tablet "Ship If Heart Sutra" is exquisitely carved and is the best calligraphy work.
Mahao fishing village
It is less than 100 meters away from Mahao Hana Tomb Museum, and it is a unique fishing village of Mahao. This fishing village is unique in architecture and boat-shaped as a whole. Many shops on both sides operate fresh fish banquets, but I'm afraid it's up to him to tell whether they all come from the river. There is an attic in the middle of the street, which is shaped like a ship's cab. Visitors can have a rest here and taste the fresh river. There are several fishermen in the nearby river who fish in the river every day. On the river facing the east gate of the fishing village, there are three or two fishing boats with unique paintings.
Giant natural sleeping Buddha
Nowadays, people who travel to Leshan know that Una and Lingyun Mountain, where the Giant Buddha is located, are huge natural sleeping buddhas. Looking from the dock of the shipping company in the east of Leshan City, I saw Wu Youshan as a Buddha's head, and his eyebrows were clearly visible; Lingyun Mountain is a Buddha's body, and its beauty is naturally distinct. Its shape and expression are like a stack, and it is a must in the world. However, this natural sleeping Buddha has existed for thousands of years, and there have been countless pilgrims and tourists for thousands of years, but no one has ever realized it. It was in May 1985 that Pan, an old farmer from Shunde, Guangdong, accidentally took a photo. About half a month later, he suddenly found that "the mountain is like a Buddha's back." The drama of the discovery process really fits the "contingency" essence of Buddhism. Visitors can go to the Buddha-watching building near Leshan Chengdong Steamship Company to enjoy the wonders of the giant natural Buddha. On the wall of Guanyin Building is the Discovery of Leshan Giant Buddha inscribed by Pan.
