Gateway to Leshan's UNESCO Giant Buddha heritage site.
Location
Leshan, China
Leshan Airport (IATA: LSG) is a regional civil airport serving Leshan, a city in Sichuan Province, China, located in the Wutongqiao District. The airport provides air connectivity for residents and tourists visiting the area, most notably those traveling to see the Leshan Giant Buddha, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Leshan lies close to Chengdu, the provincial capital, which is served by two major international airports. This proximity has historically limited demand for a dedicated Leshan airport, making it a supplementary facility for regional connectivity.
