The Leshan Giant Buddha Scenic Area is chiseled from the riverside cliff of Qixia Peak in Lingyun Mountain. It is the largest stone statue of Maitreya Buddha in the world. The Buddha has a kind face and a calm demeanor, quietly guarding this land after thousands of years of wind and rain. Standing at the foot of the Buddha statue, looking up, one can truly feel its grandeur and magnificence. Taking a boat trip to Minjiang River and appreciating the Leshan Giant Buddha Scenic Area from different angles is another unique sight. Leshan Giant Buddha Scenic Area is not only a holy land of religious culture, but also a treasure of human art. It shows the superb level of ancient Chinese sculpture art, and also reflects the wisdom and perseverance of ancient craftsmen.
