In far western China is a city called Leshan. And in Leshan there is a giant Buddha statue. By giant, I mean 233 feet (71 meters) tall carved status that was constructed/built between 713 and 803 (during the Tang Dynasty). It is at the confluence of the Minjiang River and Dadu River. You can make the trek down to the Buddha's feet (and then back up), or you can take a boat ride and see the statue from a distance. I am guessing from the water marks on the sides of the cliff that the rivers flood at some point and "wash Buddha's feet".
