What is the origin of Leshan non-artificial Buddha Cave?

Recently, a video of the dense holes in the rock wall of Leshan Giant Buddha was circulated on the Internet, which attracted the attention of many netizens. In the video, the tour guide said that these holes were all caused by tourists destroying the landform, mainly to pray for good luck. After the video flowed out, the staff responded that the Music Cave was not artificial, it was naturally formed and had nothing to do with tourists.

In response to the video circulating on the Internet, the reporter contacted the staff of Leshan Giant Buddha, and the relevant personnel responded that the holes appearing in the video were naturally formed holes. There are hundreds of similar rock walls in the whole mountain. This hole appears in the main passage of tourists. In addition, the strange shape and the misleading guide lead tourists to touch it out of curiosity or with prayer.

Afterwards, I learned from the relevant personnel of Leshan Giant Buddha that the tour guide who misled tourists in the video was not a professional tour guide in the scenic spot. Although other people are from the scenic spot, they are not professionals, so they don't know much about the holes in the rock wall of Leshan Giant Buddha.

The mountain in the scenic area is red sandstone, and the rock has holes after continuous erosion. After the constant touch of tourists, the moss on the surface of the rock wall recedes and the holes in the red sandstone are exposed. In addition, there are hundreds of similar rock walls on the whole mountain, and not only one special landform can be seen everywhere.

The holes in the rock wall are constantly touched by tourists, but the rock wall is not an intangible cultural heritage and there is no relevant document or legal protection. It is impossible to prove whether tourists constantly touch the holes in the rock wall will lead to weathering or damage of the rock wall, which is also very difficult for management.

There is no relevant law in our country that can prohibit tour guides from taking tours to explain, so it is difficult to manage tour guides. All this requires everyone's self-discipline. Relevant personnel in giant buddha said that they will strengthen the management of scenic spots, strengthen the propaganda of civilized tourism and guide tour guides in their future work.
