Yes—infants may sit in laps and small children can use a stroller in town, but expect stairs at the Buddha viewing platforms.
Lunch at a popular local restaurant is included; the ancient town has snacks and souvenir shops for additional purchases.
The Leshan Giant Buddha was carved over 90 years during the Tang dynasty to placate dangerous currents; Huanglongxi’s streets retain Ming and Qing-era layout and architecture.
