The Leshan Giant Buddha is a statue of Maitreya (弥勒大佛) in sitting posture.The Buddha is located
in Sichuan Province，facing Min River，Qingyi River，and Dadu River.In December，1996，the
Buddha was included by UNESCO on the list of the World Heritage (世界遗产录)．
The statue was begun in the year 713 in the Tang Dynasty，and finished in the year 803.The Buddha
is 71 meters high.The eightmeterlong instep (脚背) is big enough for one hundred people to sit on and the
更多资料添加微信号：hiknow_007 淘宝搜索店铺：乐知课堂28meterwide shoulder is large enough to be a basketball playground.
A monk called Hai Tong is connected with the Buddha forever.At that time，wild waters brought out
many boat accidents and people just put the disaster down to the presence of a water spirit.So Hai Tong
decided to make a statue beside the river thinking that the Buddha would bring the water spirit under
control.After 20 years’ begging from door to door，he finally collected enough money for the plan.When
some local government officials tried to get this amount of money，Hai Tong said that they could get his
eyeball but not the money raised for the Buddha.After he dug out his eyeball，these officials ran away
scared.The project was half done when Hai Tong passed away，and two of his disciples (门徒) continued
the work.After a total of 90 years’ hard work，the project was finally completed.
Having such a long history，the Buddha was nearly destroyed by the wind and rain.The Chinese
government began the repairing work in 1963 under the instruction of experts from UNESCO.

The Taj Mahal(泰姬陵) is a love story，a sad and beautiful one.If it didn’t exist，we would easily
