China Travel Tips

Leshan

The city of Leshan is less than one hour's ride from the Baoguosi Monastery at the foot of Mt.Emei. Leshan is the home of the Giant Buddha at the conflueence of the Min, Dadu and Qingyi rivers.It qualifies as the largest Buddha in a sitting posture in the world. The Buddha is the largest Buddha in China, towering to 71m, with his 14.7m head, and 24m shoulders. The Buddha's ears are 6.72m long, insteps 8.5m broad, and a picnic could be conducted on the nail of his big toe, which is 1.5m long. The Giant Buddha has lasted over a thousand years, and still survives in good shape. It would be a mistake to think of Leshan as one big Buddha, but it is wouth making a trip to Leshan, which will provide you with a pleasant picture made by the ancient Chinese sites and the beautiful nature being combined into a whole.
