The Mount Emei-Leshan Giant Buddha Historic Scenic Area, situated in the Leshan Region, Sichuan Province, consists of two parts, Mount Emei and the Leshan Giant Buddha. In Chinese the name Emei is homonymous to moth brow, to suggest that the mountain is wriggling "like the head of a smaller strain of cicada named qin, and the brows of a moth". The phrase has its origin in The Book of Songs, the first Book of the Five Classics, 140~135B.C. The Leshan Giant Buddha is situated at the converging point of three river, the Min, Qingyi and Dadu. The Buddha was cut into a cliffside and took 90 years work(713-803 A.D.,in the Tang Dynasty). Measuring 71 meters, it is the tallest stone buddha in the world. The mount Emei- Leshan Giant Buddha was inlcluded in the list of "World Natural and Cultural Heritage" by UNESCO in 1997.
