Leshan Giant Buddha


I thought the national park where the buddha was located would offer other things to see besides the buddha but by the time we entered the park, we found out the entire park consists of a trial that was built around the buddha, so you go on the trail to see the different faces of Buddha at different locations.

The trail was completely packed with visitors.  Once you get on it, you could not get out of it.  You need to move forward because it was packed elbow to elbow.  It was a hot and humid day. Every body sweated heavily and smell bad!   However, every one on the trail had the same thing in mind as I did that is to see the Buddha no matter what!

So, here are the photos taken on  different parts of the trail and the face of  different side of this giant Buddha!

Great Falls National Park in the fall

Great Falls National Park is a national park located near the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area in the United States. Here are some key details about Great Falls National Park: Great Falls National Park is situated along the Potomac River, straddling the border between the states of Virginia and Maryland. It's approximately 15 miles (24 kilometers) upstream from downtown Washington, D.C. The park is renowned for its stunning natural beauty, characterized by a series of impressive waterfalls and rugged, rocky terrain. The main attraction is the Great Falls of the Potomac, where the Potomac River narrows dramatically and cascades over a series of rocky cliffs and rapids.
