Grande Buddha, Leshan, China


On our second last day in China (in the Sichuan province), we visited the biggest Buddha statue in the world. It was built during the Tang Dynasty (618-907). It's carved out of a cliff face and is more than impressive. If you look very closely at the shot of Buddha's toes, you can see someone leaning againt his big toe which gives you an idea of the size.
