The "Potala Palace" hidden in the bustling city—Sha County Taojin Mountain.

Taojin Mountain Scenic Area is located 3 km west of Sha County, Fujian Province, with an altitude of 501 meters and a total area of 6 square kilometers. The scenic spot was first built in the Song Dynasty and took shape in the Yuan and Ming Dynasties, so the cultural landscape here is very rich. Historical figures such as Li Gang, the prime minister of the Song Dynasty, Luo Congyan, a great Confucian scholar, and Deng Maoqi, the leader of the peasant uprising army, all left their footprints here, with more than 30 cliff carvings. The reclining Buddha on Taojin Mountain is known as the "First Reclining Buddha in China." This reclining Buddha is carved from a natural boulder, measuring 38 meters long, 10 meters wide, and 11 meters high, making it the largest stone reclining Buddha in China. Behind the reclining Buddha is a mountain, which is similar in shape to the reclining Buddha, forming a spectacular scene of the mountain and the Buddha as one. There is also a pagoda, which is majestic and spectacular, with a total of nine floors. The true body relic is on the second floor, and each floor can be accessed. Each floor is dedicated to different Buddha statues, and there are carvings of Buddhist classics, which are especially worth seeing!
