Mount Emei, located in southwest China's Sichuan Province, is an area of striking scenic beauty, notable for its lofty mountain and lush vegetation. It is also of great spiritual and cultural significance, in which there are archaeological sites, important architecture, tombs, ritual spaces, and collections of cultural artefacts, including sculpture, stone inscriptions, calligraphy, and paintings, among other traditional arts. Mount Emei is known as one of the four holy mountains of Chinese Buddhism.
Carved out of a hillside in the 8th century, the Leshan Giant Buddha is an area of natural beauty into which the human element has been integrated with skill and subtlety. Facing the confluence of the Minjiang, Dadu and Qingyi rivers, the 71 meters tall Giant Buddha of Leshan is one of the most important cultural treasures of China.
