Leshan, Prefecture-level city in Sichuan, China.

The city spans over 12,720 square kilometers at the confluence of Dadu, Min, and Qingyi Rivers, with a population exceeding 3.5 million residents.

During the Second Sino-Japanese War, Leshan served as a refuge for educational institutions while maintaining its position as a regional administrative center.

The stone-carved Leshan Giant Buddha, measuring 71 meters in height, stands as a testament to Chinese Buddhist artistry from the Tang Dynasty period.

The transportation network includes high-speed rail connections to Chengdu and an extensive highway system linking all eleven districts and counties.

The region contains 108 rivers and streams, supporting numerous tea plantations and three ancient Chinese martial arts schools with histories spanning 800 years.
