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 picnic 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.
