Author zl203@st-andrews.ac.uk DescriptionEN English Description The Leshan Giant Buddha, located in Sichuan Province, China, is the world’s largest stone Buddha statue, standing 71 meters tall. It was carved into a cliff at the meeting point of three rivers — the Min, Dadu, and Qingyi — during the Tang Dynasty, from 713 to 803 AD. Initiated by the monk Haitong, it was built both as a religious symbol and to calm dangerous waters for passing boats. Next to the Buddha, Mount Emei is a vital site for ecological research and conservation. In 1996, UNESCO listed both the Leshan Giant Buddha and Mount Emei as a World Heritage Site, recognizing their combined cultural and natural value. Over time, the Buddha has suffered from erosion and human activity. To protect it, authorities now use 3D scanning and AI to detect cracks and biological damage. These advanced technologies help create precise restoration plans, ensuring the long-term preservation of this cultural treasure, in line with UN Sustainable Development Goal 11.
