Leshan is a pretty little city, (population 7,000) situated in the southwest of Sichuan Province, about 180km from Chengdu and 20km from Emeishan. This 1300 year old market town has recently undergone major reconstruction work but fortunately remains a pleasant place to visit and take a look at the biggest Buddha in the world!
The city is situated at the meeting point of the Dadu and Min rivers and the most famous site, the Grand Buddha or Dafu, towers above the river bed. The outskirts of the city have been reduced to rubble and the center now consists of sleek paving, tall offices and electronic billboards. Despite all this, there are still some pretty little streets and markets to explore here, and modernization has made the town a relatively clean and invigorating place to spend a few days and the climate and landscape here endow Leshan with abundant natural resources. The area is rich in plant species and fir trees and other rare species of mountain flora can be found in abundance. Some 296 animal species have been recorded, over 20 of these are protected species including pandas.
