Nestled within lush mountains and ancient temples, the Leshan Giant Buddha Scenic Area in southwest China's Sichuan Province is home to the world's largest stone Buddha. Carved into a cliffside over 1,300 years ago, this 71-meter-tall Buddha peacefully watches over the confluence of three rivers. The surrounding area is rich with ancient pagodas, tranquil temples, and hidden grottoes, making it not only a historic site but also a haven for explorers and nature lovers alike.

Deputy director of the Leshan Giant Buddha Scenic Area Culture and Tourism Bureau Wang Xinhe takes us on an enchanting voyage through some of the must-see spots in the area.
