Meinu Peak National Forest Park is an outlying mountain-and-forest excursion in the Leshan region, offering a quieter alternative to the giant Buddha and Emei corridor. The appeal is fresh air, rural scenery, and short scenic walks.
It is not the first place to send a rushed visitor, but it earns a place for travelers spending extra time around Leshan. Arrange transport in advance, since public connections to smaller scenic areas can be awkward.
