The Qingyi River is a picturesque waterway that flows through Leshan, merging with the Min and Dadu rivers at the foot of Mount Lingyun. Visitors can take leisurely river cruises to admire the surrounding lush hills and the towering Leshan Giant Buddha carved into the cliffside. The riverbanks are dotted with temples and gardens, offering a serene escape from the city. The confluence of the three rivers creates a dramatic landscape that has inspired poets and artists for centuries.
