Many people have visited Sichuan and Leshan. Of course, they know the two world heritage sites of Leshan Giant Buddha and Mount Emei. But few people know that in Leshan there are not two world-class heritages, but three world-class heritages. So it is also the only city in the country that has three different types of world heritage.
