The World's Biggest Buddha



We were in Leshan China over the weekend. It's a beautiful city at the junction of three rivers.

It is most known for its Grand Buddha. Carved into a mountain side, it is the largest Buddha in the world. Started in 713 A.D., it took 90 years to complete. Eight people, sitting around a table, can picnic on the nail of his big toe.

Can you see the people next to his eyebrow? (Connie)
