Near the hometown of the giant pandas sits the Leshan Giant Buddha, which is one of the most popular places for tourists at home and abroad.
The building of the giant Buddha started in 713. At that time, floods(洪水)often happened in Leshan area where Min River, Qingyi River and Dad u River ran together. Chinese monk (僧侣) Haitong decided to lead people to build a Buddha sculpture to deal with the waters that did harm to the boats traveling down the rivers. It was a super project in ancient times, which required lots of money.
Haitong went to many places to raise money, and after years, he finally raised enough money to start the project. When he got back to Leshan, the officials wanted to force Haitong to hand in the money. Haitong refused even though the officials sent soldiers (士兵) many times. He gouged (挖) his own eyes out to show his sincerity (真诚), scaring the soldiers away.
In the year 713, Haitong started the building of the Buddha, but he passed away when the giant Buddha was built to shoulders. Because of the death of Haitong, the building of the giant Buddha was forced to stop. Later, after many difficulties it was finally completed in 803.
The stone Buddha is the tallest Buddha sculpture in the world with a height of 71 meters. It was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site together with Mount Emei in 1996.
