The world's largest Buddha statue carved into the rock
The Leshan giant Buddha in Leshani is considered the world's largest stone statue of this god. There is this miracle in China. To be more precise, nearby Leshan town, in the Chinese province of Sichuan.
The monumental structure was carved next to the place where the three rivers intersect: Minyan, Dadu and Qin. It happened in the seventh century AD, during the reign of the Tang dynasty. The statue still exists and is not only a place of religious pilgrimage, but also a popular tourist destination. Initially, the statue was supposed to protect travelers and locals from the weather. However, the destruction of time is unswerving. The height of the statue exceeds 71 meters!
