While exploring Sichuan, make sure to visit the Leshan Giant Buddha, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Located near Chengdu, this colossal statue carved into a cliff face is an impressive sight to behold. Standing at over 71 meters tall, it is the largest stone Buddha statue in the world. You can take a boat ride along the river to get a closer look at the statue or hike up to the top for panoramic views of the surrounding area. It's a remarkable testament to the skill and craftsmanship of ancient Chinese artisans.
