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.
