Leshan Giant Buddha

#sichuanattractions This is the largest stone Buddha statue in the world, 71 m high, more than 1,300 years ago. This is the intersection of three rivers, the water flows very fiercely causing many boats to sink. Feeling sorry for that scene, Venerable Hai Thong went to raise money to carve this giant Buddha statue to suppress and make this river more peaceful. After many generations, nearly 100 years, the statue was completed. After entering the gate of the relic site, tourists have two ways to get to the Buddha Statue. The first way is by road, through the stairs, through the mountain to reach the foot of the Buddha Statue. The second way is by bus and to the river wharf and from the river there is a boat going along the river to see the statue. By boat, you can see the statue from afar more clearly. The time to visit by boat is about two hours and can be longer. If you go by road
