The Big Buddha by Taihu Lake, the most spectacular Buddha statue in Wuxi

What will be the most popular tourist destination in 2025? Without a doubt, Wuxi, Jiangsu is one of them. As a branch venue for the Spring Festival Gala and the Lantern Festival Gala, Wuxi's beautiful scenery is absolutely photogenic. In addition to the Jiangnan-style bridges and flowing water and classical gardens, Wuxi also has the magnificent Taihu Lake. There is a huge 88-meter-high Buddha statue by the Taihu Lake in Wuxi. This is the Lingshan Giant Buddha Scenic Area. [Cute] The Lingshan Giant Buddha is the iconic landscape of the Lingshan scenic spot. The Giant Buddha is located at No. 1 Lingshan Road, Mashan Town, Binhu District, Wuxi City, Jiangsu Province. It is the landmark of Lingshan Scenic Area. The Lingshan Giant Buddha is 88 meters high and consumed a total of 725 tons of copper. This size is extremely rare. The Lingshan Giant Buddha, together with the Tian Tan Buddha in Hong Kong in the south, the Leshan Giant Buddha in Sichuan in the west, the Yungang Giant Buddha in Shanxi in the north, and the Longmen Giant Buddha in Luoyang, Henan in the central plains, are collectively known as the "Five Buddhas of China". The lotus pedestals at the feet of the Lingshan Giant Buddha are made of tin bronze. The lotus pedestals are composed of four layers of lotus petals, with 22 petals in each layer, for a total of 88 lotus petals. In the podium of the Buddha's base, there are two elevators, which are specially installed to take believers and tourists to the lotus seat. People can use them to walk to the Buddha's feet and touch them, which is called "holding the Buddha's feet." [TeaDrinker] Tickets for Lingshan Scenic Area: 195 yuan.
