"The first Buddhist temple in China was built here in Sichuan Province in the 1st century A.D. in the beautiful surroundings of the summit Mount Emei. The addition of other temples turned the site into one of Buddhism's holiest sites. Over the centuries, the cultural treasures grew in number. The most remarkable is the Giant Buddha of Leshan, carved out of a hillside in the 8th century and looking down on the confluence of three rivers. At 71 m high, it is the largest Buddha in the world. Mount Emei is also notable for its exceptionally diverse vegetation, ranging from subtropical to subalpine pine forests. Some of the trees there are more than 1,000 years old."
Suggested teaching methods:
- Allow students to choose from World Heritage sites in China to research and reflect on in small groups. You can view my other guides in the bundle.
- Have students research and present on sites to peers, then fill out research questions based on their peers’ presentations.
- After presenting on the site, use reflection questions as “do now” questions.
- Use as a lesson plan for a substitute, as students will be able to use the guide independently.
- Use as homework following a different lesson on China or other UNESCO World Heritage Site research guide.
Desired Student Outcomes:
- Students will learn about the geographic region.
- Students will be able to explain the UNESCO World Heritage Site classification.
- Students will be able to articulate why this site is considered a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
