At 3,099 meters above sea level, Mount Amei (or Ameishan) is the central part of Ameishan National Park. The first Buddhist temple in China was built near the top of this mountain in the 1st century AD, marking the arrival of Buddhism in the eastern world. Today, there are more than 30 temples on the mountain and it is considered one of the holiest places in China.

On top of the holy mountain is the statue of Samantabhadra or Poxin in China. It is said that Samantabhadra meditated here. Thus he became the guardian of the region, as well as the guardian Buddha of the monastery of the region. The statue is 48 meters tall and made of very thick gold. With elaborately carved heads facing ten directions, the statue depicts Samanthabhadra as the ‘Ten Truths of Universal Glory'.
In front of Mount Emi is the Leshan Giant Buddha (乐山大佛). At 71 meters tall (equivalent to a 23-story building), it is the tallest Buddha on the planet. This large statue is carved out of a rock face overlooking the confluence of three rivers.
Construction began at the beginning of the 8th century and lasted for about 90 years. Next to Mount Emi, Lishan Giant Buddha has been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1996.
