Travelling to le shan from Chengdu is easy to book on our own. Just buy tickets at their bus terminal and off you go. Travelling time around 1-2hr depending on traffic. We went during their golden week, which in my opinion is stupid because we literally have to queue 3hrs from the top of the hill to visit the big buddha. Normal period assume from tip to toe of the buddha would be manageable by 30mins.
We get our bus ticket from 新南门汽车站 http://maps.google.com.sg/maps/place?hl=en&um=1&ie=UTF-8&q=chengdu+bus+station&fb=1&gl=sg&hq=bus+station&hnear=chengdu&cid=5314323170305973628
There is few way to look at the buddha, via boat (there is a river just in front of the buddha) or via stairs (we did the stairs). In one word for the view of the buddha : AMAZING. I cannot imagine how man build this hundreds years ago with no machinery to help.
This is just a human beside its TOE!
Travel tip : food is scarce in this park, buy some bread along until you go back to civilisation for the meal.
Travel note : this place is the shooting scene for some martial art show, the most famous is FengYun 1 风云
