Heavy flooding in Southwestern China reached the feet of the Leshan Giant Buddha (樂山大佛) last week for the first time in more than seventy years. The Leshan Giant Buddha is a 1,200-year-old, 233-ft tall, cliff-size carving on the Min River where it meets the Dadu River in Sichuan Province. It normally stands high above the river waters.
