Lingshan Buddha
This is my second visit to Wuxi. The first time in 1999 had never heard of Soul Mountain in this scenic area, then travel guide like a book has not yet introduced. Thought it was newly discovered artifacts, this attracted to go, hoping to climb the hills to see the Buddha.
To Wuxi next morning, we are a family of three will be multiplied by the 88 road outside the hotel bus terminal that is Soul Mountain wonderland. National Day has just passed, not many visitors by car takes about 70 minutes or so. Scenic area in a gradual way, the image from the back of the tall mountains between apparent.
Scenic area is a large area outside the works. Along the way without entering the main entrance, a huge Buddha towering in front of it. According to Buddha as a man-made landscape Lingshan was built five years ago, has not yet been completed. Buddha face of Taihu Lake, from feng shui considerations, we built a screen wall in front of the wall. The wall above the right side of Taihu Lake has five carved Buddha statues, each representing the parties from the north, south, east and west China the Buddha: Hong Kong's Giant Buddha, Sichuan, Leshan Giant Buddha, Luoyang's Longmen Grottoes; Datong Yungang Grottoes and Wuxi Lingshan Giant Buddha. Among them, the Tian Tan Buddha Statue and the recent construction of Lingshan Buddha.
Soul Mountain Soul Mountain Giant Buddha is located, artificial construction of the steps will be pious people have been pulling into the Buddha's feet. Buddha head from the feet to 88 meters high, such as with the base height to 101.5 meters, is the world's largest Buddha! Of their body weight of 2000 tons, including 700 tons of copper. To say that if all the copper casting, one on the ground anywhere in the world can not afford! Buddha total cost of more than 200 million yuan.
Although the whole scenic area is still under construction, many travel agencies will be here as part of the journey. Admission fee is currently 50 yuan, it is interesting that if re-pay the 15 yuan, you can also hold a last-minute attempt. Of course, if not approached the Buddha, just outside the stop watch, you can experience the majesty of the Big Buddha, feel the power to shock! To May 2003, when completion of the whole scenic area, the image will be presented in a more new look before the world.
