Less than two hours from Chengdu is a little city called Leshan that has the tallest Buddha in the world. The 200+ feet tall Buddha was carved into the side of a hill at the meeting of two rivers, the Min and the Dadu. The Buddha was built during the Tang Dynasty (between 713 and 803).
On our trips to Leshan, we not only see the Buddha from the viewing platforms above, but we also walk down the stairs, descending from the top of the Buddha's head to the foot. For a full view, we also take a boat ride along the river to see the Buddha from afar.
You don't need to go to Leshan to see Buddha in China, but this one is quite special. Join me on a Chow Fun trip and see what surprises are in store for you!
