The Leshan Giant Buddha

My secret wish has always been to visit as many new places as possible. I came across this on Wikipedia and was amazed by the information.

The picture above is The Leshan Giant Buddha, carved out of a cliff in the city of Leshan, China. It seems that this is the largest carved statue of Buddha. I would like to visit here sometime :-)
