It is carved out of a cliff face  that lies at the confluence of the Minjiang, Dadu and Qingyi rivers in  the southern part of Sichuan province in China, near the city of Leshan.  The stone sculpture faces Mount Emei, with the rivers flowing below his  feet. It is the largest carved stone Buddha in the world and it is by  far the tallest pre-modern statue in the world. The Mount Emei Scenic  Area, including Leshan Giant Buddha Scenic Area has been listed as a  UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1996. It was not damaged by the 2008  Sichuan earthquake </blockquote>
