Mount E'mei-Leshan Giant Buddha and the world-famous irrigation system Dongfeng 
Weir.

With an altitude of 3,099m, Mount E'mei enjoys variable climate. Travelers can 
literately experience four seasons as the weather can be quite different in 
places which are just several miles apart. The view on Mount E'mei is stunning, 
presenting itself in a uniquely charming way throughout the year. Climbing on 
the towering golden summit, visitors are able to get a panoramic and majestic 
view.

It is a Buddha and also a mountain. Leshan Giant Buddha is carved on the cliff 
of a mountain. It is a masterpiece of cliff sculpture made in the Tang Dynasty. 
It is a statue of Maitreya with a height of 71m. Sitting on the converging 
place of three rivers, Leshan Giant Buddha has witnessed the vicissitude of the 
world over hundreds of years.

Dongfeng Weir was among the first to be listed in the world's Heritage 
Irrigation Structures. Built in the first year of Emperor Kangxi's reign in 
Qing Dynasty (1662 AD), it has been functioning for over 350 years. Its 
supporting channels are well built with reasonable layout and gravity water 
diversion.
