Leshan Buddha Hot Springs is a geothermal wellness destination near the city of Leshan in Sichuan Province, situated in the shadow of one of the world's great monuments — the Giant Buddha of Leshan, a 71-meter stone statue carved into the cliffside at the confluence of the Min, Dadu, and Qingyi rivers between the 8th and 9th centuries, now designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The oligomineral thermal waters of the Leshan area draw on the geothermal resources of the Sichuan Basin's deep sedimentary geology, offering comfortable therapeutic bathing in a setting suffused with Buddhist spiritual heritage and the extraordinary natural beauty of the Three Rivers junction. The combination of the Giant Buddha's commanding presence, the sacred rivers, the surrounding Mount Emei — another UNESCO World Heritage Site and sacred Buddhist mountain — and the gentle thermal waters creates a destination of exceptional cultural and natural layering. Leshan Buddha Hot Springs invites visitors to relax in geothermal waters while contemplating one of the most awe-inspiring human creations in the ancient world.
