Leshan Giant Buddha is located in Leshan City of Sichuan Province, at the bank of Minjiang River. It is the largest carved stone Buddha in the world, which has been listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1996.

Leshan Giant Buddha is 71 meters high, 18 meters higher than the second largest stone Buddha of Bamyan in Afghanistan. It was built during the Tang Dynasty, carved out of a cliff of the Lingyun Hill that lies at the confluence of the Minjiang, and Dadu Rivers. The Buddha is sitting there, wearing a cowl, with two hands putting on his knees, feet on the lotus. The total height of the Buddha is 71 meters, which is as high as the top of Linyun Hill. It is lofty and massive with a symmetrical scale and with a 10 meter wide head, 5.6 meter long nose, 7 meter long ears, 5.6 meter long nose, 7 meter long ears, 5.6 meter long eyebrows, 3.3 meter long eyes, 3.3 meter long mouth, 3 meter long neck, 28 meter wide shoulders and 8.3 meter long fingers, and the height from the Giant Buddha’s insteps to its knees is 28 meters. On the head, there are 1021 hair buns, each of which are as large as the round table. The feet back of the Buddha can hold more than 100 people. On the cliffs beside the Giant Buddha, there are two carved stone warriors in battle robe and holding the halberd. Besides, there are tens of hundreds carved Buddha, which makes the mountain a museum of Buddhist carving.

For thousands of years, the Giant Buddha has eroded by wind and rain. However owing to the barrel-drains on the body and the head of the carved Buddha, the carving still stands majestically. The drainage system is so crafty that one will not find them easily.

With wonderful scene of the Leshan Giant Buddha, numerous interest places and contiguous scenic spots, it is just like a picture scroll with too many beautiful things. No matter whether you climb up the mountain for sightseeing or look around by water, it is sure that you must feast your eyes on the beauty, relaxed and happy and reluctant to leave.
