Leshan, Sichuan | Eastern Budd

Leshan, Sichuan | Eastern Buddhist Capital, a Land of Stone Carvings of Thousands of Buddhas

Across the river from the Leshan Giant Buddha lies an equally stunning Buddhist sanctuary: the Eastern Buddhist Capital. Renowned for its spectacular rock carvings, it is known as the "City of Ten Thousand Buddhas," a culmination of Buddhist art and culture.

The Eastern Buddhist Capital, a sprawling complex of cliffside carvings, Buddha statues, and temple buildings, boasts thousands of Buddha statues of varying sizes, each in a unique pose, some solemn and majestic, others benevolent and serene. The intricate stone carvings and murals showcase the centuries-long legacy and splendor of Buddhist art.

The most spectacular sight is the colossal Buddha statue, tens of meters tall, towering majestically against the mountain cliffs. Its imposing presence echoes the Leshan Giant Buddha, creating a breathtaking Buddhist atmosphere.
