The Leshan Giant Buddha, in Sichuan, China, is the largest Buddha in the world. The statue is carved directly into the mountainside and measures 71 meters (233 feet) tall. The Leshan Giant Buddha is one of the most visible symbols of weathering caused by pollution. Nearby industrial development and a stream of tourists arriving by bus have caused chemicals in the air to corrode, or wear away, the delicate stone of the carving.
