Where there is a large statue of Buddha carved into the rocks along the bank of a river?

I have this image of a large Buddhist statue, so least 200 feet high, carved into solid rock. The rock is reddish brown in color. On both sides there is a smaller statue embedded in the rock. Most are small, perhaps 50 feet high. In the foreground is a fast river.

If the statue is in a sitting position, then you're looking for Giant Buddha in Leshan in China. The statue of remarkable, on the eastern shore Minjiang River in the city of Leshan in Sichuan Province, was carved into a hillside in the 8th century and looking down at the confluence of three rivers Minjiang, Dadu and Qingyi and his back is the western slope of Lingyun Mountain. Siiting is the largest Buddha in the world. Above 232 feet, shoulder width of 79 feet wide, is an impressive sight. A water drainage system reduces erosion by rain and reduces the weather. The statue was begun in 713 Adande completed in 803 AD, the year 19 of the reign of Emperor Tang Dezhong. To the right of the statue of a table twisty road was built and is now famous as the nine to his Once Plank Road, but it goes from bottom to top. Included in the list of UNESCO world heritage in 1996.
