Mount Emei, one of China's Four Sacred Buddhist Mountains, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site in Sichuan Province. Renowned for its 3,099-meter Golden Summit, lush biodiversity (5,000+ plant species), and ancient temples like Baoguo and Wannian, it blends spiritual significance with natural wonders like sunrise clouds and the "Buddha’s Halo."
The Leshan Giant Buddha, a 71-meter (233 ft) stone statue carved into a cliff at the confluence of the Minjiang, Dadu, and Qingyi rivers in Sichuan, China, is the world’s largest seated Buddha. Built from 713 to 803 AD to calm treacherous waters, it combines Tang Dynasty artistry with ingenious drainage systems and remains a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
