Leshan Bridge (near the Giant Buddha)
The beautiful Leshan Bridge leads to an island temple with hundred of ancient tombs all around it. It is situated right next to the Leshan Giant Buddha. If you ever visit it, be sure to spend a little extra money and time and buy the full ticket. You won't regret it. Although the Buddha is impressive, the history in the surrounding areas and the beauty of the fishing villages and landscape is well worth a little more investment. Also make sure you give yourself a day here to explore everything it has to offer - and bring a camera ;)
I took very few clips around the beautiful Leshan Bridge and surrounding area, so it was tough to stretch it out. Still it was good practise for my editing. Still learning to use the software and figure things out. Similarly when I filmed the shots I wasn't thinking about making a video out of it. So they were very unpolished and unplanned.

Leshan Giant Buddha
Leshan Dafo (Giant Buddha) is the tallest in the world and it's as gorgeous and magnificent as you imagine. The long queue to descend from its head to its feet on the verg of the river is not as much nice but it is definitely worth! Once you reach the feet of the Buddha the visit continues on a scenographic path along the cliff that at some point jumps in the forest of the Giant Buddha Park which is as huge as the Dafo itself. Here you can visit ancient tombs and Wuyou Temple on the top of the island nearby. The walk is quite hard expecially in summer but once again it's worth the effort for the beautiful landscape from the top of the island and for the ispiring solitude after the exhausting crowd. We were lucky enough to attend at the evening prayer of Wuyou monks and during our descent we also saw some people and monks extinguishing a fire in a small pagoda. They were so fast and meticulous attending their chore that no one got demage and they even found time to take pictures ^_^
Most MYSTERIOUS Sculptures
Throughout time, ancient cultures have produced works of art that make us wonder what kind of things they were exposed to. The only real way they could try to recreate what they saw accurately, was with creating things from clay into the right shape. Other carvings were made to protect the tombs of ancient rulers and seeming had some mystical power. From sculptures carved out of a cliffside, to some of the first pieces art ever made by humans, here the most mysterious sculptures.

Ancient Stone Balls of Costa Rica
Also known as Los Bolas, over 300 of these perfect spheres have been placed in western Costa Rica and the reason for their existence is still uncertain. These stone balls can be over 2 meters in diameter and weigh up to 15 tons! Most are sculpted from gabbro which is an igneous rock similar to basalt. They are also found in limestone and sandstone. What do you think these mysterious stones were for? Some claim they lead to the chief’s compound. This wasn’t the only place where archaeologists have found mysterious stone spheres. Also found in Bosnia, there’s a forest nicknamed the Forest of spheres which many believe is remnants of an ancient civilization, possible the one who built the bosnian pyramid!
Leshan Giant Buddha
Many are completely awe-struck when they look at the massive, immortal 233 foot tall statue that was built sometime between 713 and 803. It was completely carved out of a cliffside in the Sichuan province of China near the city of Leshan. This photo shows how utterly massive this ancient carving is and how people aren’t even taller the tips of buddha. The Leshan Giant Buddha is the largest stone buddha in the world and is the tallest pre modern statue. The Buddhist monk went through some serious lengths of trying to get this project completed. When he requested money for funding the project, many believed he was up to no good. To show that he meant business, he gouged out his own eyeball and we’re sure they took him seriously after that. One of the biggest mysteries about this is, why was the statue so important that he would resort to such drastic, self mutilating measures. So much stone was removed from the cliffside and put into the river nearby, that it actually changed its current and flow. Since the carving has been around for so long, it’s been quite eroded by factors such as wind, rain, tourism and the moss that grows on it.
Ushabtis
As the pharaoh was preparing for the afterlife, artisans would create figurines to be placed in the tomb. They come in many different shapes, sizes and colors and typically feature some hieroglyphics that state how their ready to get put to work. The ushabtis were supposed to act as servants or minions to the pharaoh once they’ve pasted on to the other side. Some of these statuettes would carry things such as baskets, sacks or other agricultural tools and were made of wood, clay, terracotta, metal and other materials. They were made as early as the 11th Dynasty all the way to the 30th dynasty.
Rok Runestone
One of the most well known runestones in the world, the Rok runestone was partially deciphered during the 19th century when it was found being used as building material for a near by church and is certainly a mysterious object in Sweden. This is found today, standing in the sparsely populated province of Ostergotland (uster-gote-land). It’s believed to have been made in the 9th century AD. The stone was eventually moved from its original location and sits on display outside a churchyard. Some believe that the inscription was made intentionally difficult to read because it could be apart of a magical ritual. There are many speculations on the mysterious story about a father losing his son during a war but it appears to be an important lost piece of Norse mythology.
Statue of Khafre
Khafre was a pharoh during the 4th dynasty of ancient egypt making this a pretty old statue; about 5,570 years old to be a little more precise. It’s being kept in the Egyptian museum in Cairo and is made from an extremely hard, dark stone that was quarried 400 miles away from his tomb. The statue was carved for the kings tomb that was located near the great sphinx. He’s portrayed as the ideal masculine leader with a beard, cobra like head dress, muscular upper body and a kilt-- not a skirt! In fact this guy was such a cool leader he even got his own great pyramid. The middle sized pyramid of Giza was dedicated to khafre, so anything relating to this king is of great value. Many are still amazed that ancient Egyptians had the proper tools to make such a detailed carving from such a hard rock. Some compare it to making a wooden sculpture with a plastic knife.

I had recently been in the Sichuan Province of China. Sichuan has many amazing things to see such as the Panda's, Jiuzhaigou Natural Reserve, Mount Qingcheng and many more sights worth visiting. I had the opportunity to film one subject and chose the Giant Buddha of Leshan.
The region of Leshan and the Giant Buddha are a truly fascinating sight. My video explores a small part of this beautiful Gem. I hope you enjoy it.

Take a tour of Asia's Greatest Ruins -- part of the World's Greatest Attractions travel video series by GeoBeats.
I'd like to show you Asia's Greatest Ruins:
Angkor Wat, in Cambodia is the primary temple complex in the ruins of the world's largest pre-industrial city. Dating to the 12th century, this enchanting site has been bedecked with ancient statues and stone structures. Buddhist statues are found in abundance owing to Theravada Buddhism; the dominant religion since here the 13th century.
The Great Wall of China is an enduring symbol of strength and a wonder of the world. Erected on the orders of China's first emperor, the oldest part of the site dates to approximately 2500 years ago. Spanning over miles of Chinese hills, it is arguably the most recognized international symbol of the country, visible even from space.
The capital of one of Thailand's central provinces, Ayutthaya, is believed to have been founded in the mid 14th century. Having prospered magnificently until the 18th century, it was one of the most affluent and productive cities in all of Asia. Thai Ayutthaya Style Art is reflected in the architecture of the city with excellent craftsmanship and artistry which can be seen in the ruins even today.
An enormous army of over 8,000 warriors, 100 chariots, 500 horses and 100 cavalry horses can be found in the Shaanxi province of China. These are the Terracotta Warriors, which according to archaeologists were sculpted around the 3th century BC. Forming only a part of an enormous grave complex the site is still under excavation with some areas open to the public.
The largest Buddhist temple in the world, Borobudur Temple, is an enormous complex covered with religious reliefs and statues. Built in the 8th and 9th century A.D, the structure was constructed in the pattern of a mandala. Adorning it are various symbols of the nature of the mind and of the universe, which echo some of the core concepts of Buddhism.
