Located at east of Leshan City of China, and with a height of 71 metres, it is known to be the largest stone Buddha statute in the world. It's a pity that in this tour, we could only take pictures from the river cruise. The colorful dots on the left centre of picture are actually lines of people climbing up the hill taking a closer look at the Buddha.
The tourism of Le Shan Buddha has brought about economic development for the city as you can see from the picture.
Our sweet local guide, Xiao Mei told us that the Le Shan city citizens believe that the Buddha is watching over them & that although people generally like to buy high height accomodation, the local developers will not build any buildings higher than 71metres as the locals will generally not buy accomodation built higher than the height of the Buddha. A unique feature in Leshan city.
