Leshan Giant Stone Buddha - World's Largest - Sichuan, China
Deep within China is a stone Buddha bigger than all others. On this episode, we unveil the Leshan Giant Stone Buddha.
Located in the southern Sichuan province of China close to the city it’s named after, Leshan, this Buddha measures 232 feet or 71 meters tall.. Being the largest stone statue in the world and world’s largest of pre-modern times, this giant Buddha has been surpassed by other modern buddhas in size like the Ushiku Daibutsu in Japan and the Spring Temple Buddha in Henan China by almost twice the height. These modern constructions required far less work to create than the Leshan Buddha as it was carved out of the side of the river’s rocky edge.
The idea for the Leshan Buddha came from a Chinese cleric named Hai Tong back in 713. Turbulent stormy waters wreaked havok for ships traveling down the river, Hai Tong believed building a Giant Buddha at the junction where the Dadu, Minijang and Qingyi rivers met would provide safe protection for the ships and keep the conditions calm. He also believed that removing all that rock and putting it into the river would slow the current protecting the ships, which it did. Hai Tong initially raised some money and started the project but when problems with funding and the government arose he made a bold move by removing his own eyes as a statement to show his dedication and sincerity to the project. Many years had passed with the project on hold until a Sichuan Jiedushi funded Hai Tong’s vision completing construction in 803. The Leshan Giant Buddha was completed by 3 generations of craftsman working on it over a 90 year span of time. A clever drainage system was built into the body of the Buddha allowing rainwater to not pool at the bottom. A massive 13 story wooden building was built around the Leshan Buddha to give it further protection from the elements but was dismantled by the Mongols during a war.
Today a popular tourist attraction, the Leshan Giant Buddha can be viewed from the bottom or the top following a set of switchback staircases. The head alone measures 48 feet or 14.7 meters wide by 32 feet or 10 meters wide. Becoming a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1996, this statue is said to be one of Maitreya Buddha, a successor to the preset one called Gautama Buddha. If you want to visit it, avoid doing so on Chinese holidays and bring some money for the admission fee. Busses and taxis both will get you to this site but the best view of the Buddha is from a boat.

From Chengdu, we took the high speed train to Emeishan. Then bus #12 from the High speed Emeishan Railway Station (峨眉山高铁站) and get off at 旅游公交站 travelers station. Paid the fare of 1 yuan/ea on the bus. Weather was bad so we didn't take the cable car to the Golden Summit because we won't be able to see anything except fog.So we just walked around to Baoguo and Fuhu temples. The next day, the hotel arranged for us a transfer to Leshan for 20 yuan/ea. The driver dropped us right at Leshan Ticket Office and the store where we could leave our luggage (Left luggage) for 5 RMB for each bag. Then a free van took us to the East entrance to start the visit with the giant laying Buddha at the Occidental Buddha Capital 1st, then slowly climb and going through very cool caves, going towards the Leshan Giant Buddha (Da fo), 71-metre tall, built between 713 and 803. He's the tallest
stone Buddha statue in the world . Then we took the bus #3 to Emeishan Railway Station to take the bullet train back to Chengdu.

Leshan Giant Buddha
Leshan Dafo (Giant Buddha) is the tallest in the world and it's as gorgeous and magnificent as you imagine. The long queue to descend from its head to its feet on the verg of the river is not as much nice but it is definitely worth! Once you reach the feet of the Buddha the visit continues on a scenographic path along the cliff that at some point jumps in the forest of the Giant Buddha Park which is as huge as the Dafo itself. Here you can visit ancient tombs and Wuyou Temple on the top of the island nearby. The walk is quite hard expecially in summer but once again it's worth the effort for the beautiful landscape from the top of the island and for the ispiring solitude after the exhausting crowd. We were lucky enough to attend at the evening prayer of Wuyou monks and during our descent we also saw some people and monks extinguishing a fire in a small pagoda. They were so fast and meticulous attending their chore that no one got demage and they even found time to take pictures ^_^
