The Leshan Giant Buddha (simplified Chinese: 乐山大佛; traditional Chinese: 樂山大佛; pinyin: Lèshān Dàfó) is a 71 metres (233 ft) tall stone statue built during the Tang Dynasty. It is carved out of a cliff face that lies at the confluence of the Minjiang Dadu and Qingyi rivers in the southern part of Sichuan province in China near the city of Leshan. The stone sculpture faces Mount Emei with the rivers flowing below his feet.
