Journey to Shaxian! Gold Rush Mountain

Fujian Sanming self-driving tour------Sixth stop, Shaxian Gold Rush Mountain Shaxian Gold Rush Mountain, home to the largest reclining Buddha in China, a millennium-old iron tree grove, and the Maitreya Buddha, is a sight worth seeing. Legend has it that Gold Rush Mountain got its name because people used to pan for gold here, making it famous. Surrounded by green trees and abundant plant life, it's a tranquil place. The reclining Buddha inside is incredibly long and distinctive, and together with the iron tree grove, it creates a particularly beautiful landscape. Gold Rush Mountain is not very large, but climbing to the peak, you can see a pagoda, which is very splendid and eye-catching on the inside. Photography is not allowed inside, but it's worth a visit. The reclining Buddha here is the largest stone-carved reclining Buddha in the country, seamlessly integrated with the mountain, making it a remarkable sight, especially when the iron tree grove is in bloom.
