How to protect the Leshan Giant Buddha

The protection measures for the Leshan Giant Buddha include the following aspects:

1. Keep the overall style consistent with the Buddha and related stone carvings.

2. The ancient plank road should be protected and the access for monks, workers, believers and tourists should be reconsidered. It is possible to consider extending the plank road from 100 meters on both sides of the Buddha to connect the mountain. This channel should be planned for the long term to ensure that it will not be outdated or eliminated.

3. Add modern audio-visual equipment without affecting the protection of the Buddha and the overall Buddhist atmosphere.
