What is the best way to go the Leshan from Chengdu?

There is no direct bus to the scenic area. You can take a long-distance bus from Xinnanmen Bus Station to Leshan Xiaoba Bus Station (about 2.5 hours and CNY 50); then change to city bus 13 (about an hour) to the scenic area.

Actually a better way is taking a high speed train to Leshan (1-1.5 hours and CNY 54), then change to the sightseeing bus to the Buddha. It saves you time.

Thanks for the fast reply, Leo. I just ask it because the other answers came from 2011. Bus 13 departure from the same Leshan bus station?

Bus 13: What is the name of the bus stop we have to get of for the Buddha scenic area?
Bus 13 will departure from Leshan Xiaoba Bus station?

You can get off at Big Buddha Temple (Dafosi in Chinese).
Yes, bus no.13 has a stop in Xiaoba Bus Station. Its stop is just beside the main gate of Xiaoba Bus Station and you can see it easily after exiting. No worry.

Thank you. We went to the Leshan Buddha last Tuesday. It was very easy to find. Bus 13 have English bus stop announcement.
