The Leshan Giant Buddha is the largest Buddha in China,towering to 71m,with his 14.7m head,and 24m shoulders.The Buddha's ears are 6.72m long,insteps 8.5m broad,and a piic could be conducted on the nail of his big toe,which is 1.5m long.
This carving project was begun in 713 and led by a Buddhist monk called Haitong,who hoped that the Buddha's presence would subdue the swift currents and protect the boatmen.
