Completed in 803 CE , the Leshan Giant Buddha is a large statue carved into the rock at the confluence of the Dadu and Min Rivers . The Buddha is a popular tourist attraction today . The Kangding Louding earthquake of 1786 caused a landslide dam on the Dadu . Ten days later , on June 10 1786 , the dam broke and the resulting flood extended downstream and killed 100,000 people . It is the second-deadliest landslide disaster on record
