Oriental Buddha Park (东方佛都)

Oriental Buddha Park is a cultural theme park in Leshan, China featuring reproductions of Buddhist statues and buddhis themed carvings made from stone, rock and other materials.

Here are some of Buddhists in the park.  The other side of the mountain is where the famous Giant Buddha lays.  It is in a separated section.  It was use to be in the part of the park but now it is separated from the rest of the park, so that the local government can collect the entrance fee twice.

Leshan Giant Buddha

I thought the national park where the buddha was located would offer other things to see besides the buddha but by the time we entered the park, we found out the entire park consists of a trial that was built around the buddha, so you go on the trail to see the different faces of Buddha at different locations.

The trail was completely packed with visitors.  Once you get on it, you could not get out of it.  You need to move forward because it was packed elbow to elbow.  It was a hot and humid day. Every body sweated heavily and smell bad!   However, every one on the trail had the same thing in mind as I did that is to see the Buddha no matter what!

So, here are the photos taken on  different parts of the trail and the face of  different side of this giant Buddha!

Chongqing at Night

Due to its distinctive geography, Chongqing has gained recognition both within China and internationally for its captivating night scenes. The city is nestled alongside Xiaobashan Mountain, where two rivers converge at its base. Several noteworthy locations offer splendid views of Chongqing at night, including Hongyadong, the Jiefangbai business district, the Yangtze River cableway, the Nanshan Hill viewing deck, and the Kansheng Pavilion (also known as Liangjiang Pavilion) in Eling Park.

The photographs featured here were captured at Hongyadong, an exceptional spot that offers a panoramic view of Dongshuimen Bridge, towering complexes on the opposite side of the river, and the renowned Diaojiao building complex. These stilted structures house numerous souvenir shops, coffee houses, bars, and restaurants, making it the perfect place to savor a meal or drinks while relishing the breathtaking scenery.
