The Leshan Giant Buddha was built during the Tang Dynasty
(618–907AD). It is carved out of a cliff face that lies at the
confluence of the Minjiang, Dadu and Qingyi rivers in the southern part
of Sichuan province in China, near the city of Leshan. The stone
sculpture faces Mount Emei, with the rivers flowing below his feet. It
is the largest carved stone Buddha in the world and it is by far the
tallest pre-modern statue in the world.
The Mount Emei Scenic Area, including Leshan Giant Buddha Scenic
Area has been listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1996.
