Among many local sites are the world's largest panda reserve, the world's tallest Buddha statue, and one of China's four holy Buddhist mountains. Whatever one's interests, there is always plenty to do.

Leshan Buddha is the tallest stone Buddha statue in the world. The giant sculpture is carved out of a cliff face and lies at the confluence of the Minjiang, Dadu and Quingyi rivers in southern Sichuan, near the city of Leshan. Leshan Buddha faces Mount Emei and has two rivers flowing below his feet.

The seventy-one-meter-tall statue depicts a seated Maitreya Buddha with his hands resting on his knees. One reasong for the local saying, "The mountain is a Buddha and the Buddha is a mountain," is that the mountain range is thought to be shaped like sleeping Buddha when viewed from the river, with the Leshan Buddha at its heart.

A Chinese monk named Haitong initiated construction in 713 with the hope that the Buddha would calm the treacherous waters for cargo boats travelling down river. When funding was threatened, he is said to have gouged out his eyes to show his piety and sincerity. His disciple completed the construction ninety years later. So much of the stone removed from the cliff face was deposited in the river below that the waters were made safe for passing ships.
