Located at the south of the Longshan Mountain, near Mashan town of Wuxi, Jiangsu Province, People's Republic of China, the Grand Buddha (simplified Chinese: 灵山大佛; traditional Chinese: 靈山大佛; pinyin: Língshān Dà Fó) is one of the largest Buddha statues in China and also in the world.
At more than 88 metres high, the Grand Buddha at Ling Shan is a bronze Sakyamuni standing Buddha outdoor, weighing over 700 tons. It was completed in the end of 1996.
The 5 stars treatment is in the Brahma Palace. Opulent decor blinded the devotees as if you're stepping into the heaven gazing the Buddha. The whole experience is surreal and what's big is really big.
Besides the Brahma Palace, the next interesting attraction should be the musical fountain that depicts the birth of Buddha. The lotus that opens and closes in the middle of the fountain makes it looks like you're in an amusement park, very entertaining!
All in all, fantastic is under-rated.
