The Big Buddha Complex in Leshan is one of the most important places in China, famous for its huge Buddha statue. The construction of this complex began in the 8th century, namely in 713, by order of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang dynasty. The goal was to create a place of worship and prayer. In addition, there are other statues on the territory of the complex, for example, a 100-meter reclining Buddha carved into a rock or a large golden Buddha. The Big Buddha statue is a giant stone figure carved into the rock. Its height is about 71 meters and its width is about 72 meters. It is one of the largest and tallest statues in the world, and it is an outstanding example of Buddhist architecture and sculpture. The statue is surrounded by temples and monasteries, where monks conduct services and rituals. The complex also includes pagodas, prayer halls and other religious buildings. The creation of the statue and the entire complex was a grandiose project that required enormous efforts and resources. Thousands of workers and craftsmen worked on its construction using stones and tools of that time. The Big Buddha Complex in Leshan is not only a religious place, but also a historical monument that testifies to the rich culture and history of China. It attracts tourists and pilgrims from all over the world who want to experience this amazing atmosphere and learn more about Buddhism and Chinese culture. You can get from Chengdu by high-speed trains, which take about an hour, the ticket price is 300-800 rubles, depending on the class, from Leshan station by taxi it costs 30-40 yuan and you are on the spot. The statue of the great Buddha can be viewed, among other things, from the water, but we were unable to do this because of the dramatically huge queue, I hope you will succeed. Nevertheless, the park, temples, locations, Buddhas, everything is fine here, I definitely recommend it. The time to visit the entire complex is 4-5 hours

Impressive, but expensive, there is nothing to look at from above, the Buddha's face is all stained, only beautiful from below. Plus, scaffolding is constantly spoiling the view somewhere. The niches and passages in the rock are very interesting!
