Giant Buddha
Blijf op de hoogte en volg Loes
17 Maart 2014 | China, Leshan
This Buddha is 1200 year old and is carved into a cliff face overlooking of the Dadu River and the Min River. He's 71 m tall, quiet big..
His ears stretch for 7m, his shoulders span 28m and each of his big toes 8,5 m long.
It was made to calm down the river and to protect boatmen from lethal currents. A monk called Haitong started with this project, but when he died this projects ended even the Buddha wasn't ready yet. After 90 years they finished it.
It was very touristy, but the immense Buddha will impress you.
