[2025 Wuxi Attraction] Travel Guide for Lingshan Buddhist Scenic Spot (Updated Mar)

It has been nearly 10 years since I last came to Lingshan. I have always heard that the large-scale musical dynamic group sculpture "Nine Dragons Bathing, Flowers Blooming and Buddha Appearing" in Lingshan Scenic Spot recreates the story of the birth of Buddha Shakyamuni. The fusion of sculptures, fountains and music is not to be missed. Lingshan Jixiang Song: The most worth-watching performance in the Brahma Palace, the setting is grand, recreating the story of a thousand years ago, a big thumbs up 🍽Food recommendation: Vegetarian restaurant: Lingshan vegetarian noodles are really recommended, 28 mushroom gluten topping, gluten is a specialty of Wuxi, compared with other places, gluten is softer but a little chewy, I love it very much, although it is vegetarian, it tastes very good, worth trying. #Good Places to Go in the Countryside #Local Travel

It is said that after Master Xuanzang returned from his journey to the west, he traveled here and saw the verdant mountains and extraordinary scenery, praising it as "no different from the beauty of Vulture Peak in India," and named this mountain "Little Lingshan." In 1997, to promote Buddhist culture and respond to the Chinese Buddhist Association's concept of "Five Buddhas in Five Directions," Lingshan Grand Buddha was officially completed, becoming the second tallest outdoor bronze Buddha statue in China after Leshan Giant Buddha. 1. Artistic and Construction Features - Design concept: The Buddha statue was designed by sculptor Wu Xianlin, with the core concept of "solemnity, compassion, magnificence, and freshness," integrating the elements of the "Three Saints of the West" in Chinese Buddhism. The statue is 88 meters high, welded from 1,560 bronze panels, with a total copper consumption of over 700 tons, and can withstand a level 14 typhoon and an 8-magnitude earthquake. - Gesture symbolism: The right hand performs the "fearless mudra," meaning to remove suffering, and the left hand performs the "wish-granting mudra," symbolizing the granting of happiness. The overall appearance is compassionate and solemn, showing the spirit of the Buddha's salvation of all beings. 2. Historical Origins - The Lingshan area was once the site of the famous Xiangfu Temple in the Tang and Song dynasties, where Master Xuanzang's disciple Kuiji founded a sect. The construction of the Grand Buddha not only continues the inheritance of Buddhist culture but also becomes a model for Wuxi's "creation of future cultural heritage." 3. Cultural Significance - Lingshan Grand Buddha Scenic Area integrates Buddhist culture, garden art, and technology, including attractions such as Nine Dragons Bathing Sakyamuni and Brahma Palace. It is not only a religious sanctuary but also an important window to showcase traditional Chinese culture.

In the hot summer, let's go on a trip at any time~ Depart from Nanjing at 5:00 in the morning 🚗Wuxi Lingshan Scenic Spot Arriving at the scenic spot early at 6:50, the ticket center and the tourist service center of the scenic spot were not open yet. You can scan the code to buy tickets on site 🎫, or you can buy tickets online in advance. 🔖Buying tickets in advance will be cheaper than booking on the day. You can enter the park by swiping your ID card, which is very convenient and fast. When you enter the scenic area, you will come to the Xixin Pool, where you can wash your hands and calm your mind before worshiping the Buddha. 🪷 Heart Washing Pool In Buddhism, each of our minds is originally pure and bright. It is said that "the mind is as pure as wood, but can be contaminated by dust." Always reflect on yourself and purify your soul. Get rid of the dust of this world and restore your pure and natural mind. Let us wash our hands, take away the worldly troubles and cleanse the pollution in our hearts. It will completely transform your tired and troubled body and mind, and allow you to enter Lingshan in a fresh and comfortable state. ⛰️ After washing your hands and meditating, you will come to the first place for worshipping Buddha, the Buddha’s Foot Altar. 🦶 Walking forward from the Buddha's Foot Altar is one of the performances, the Nine Dragons Bathing. The performance was very shocking. The "Buddha Bathing Festival" is held here on the eighth day of April every year. Going further, you will arrive at the "World's No. 1 Palm ✋". This gesture is called the "Fearlessness Seal" in Buddhism. Many people circle around this Buddha's hand. There are also many tourists burning incense and praying next to the Buddha's hand. Then we passed a pond of koi and headed to the foot of the Buddha. 🦶 The Lingshan Giant Buddha is an outdoor bronze standing statue of Sakyamuni Buddha. Including the lotus pedestal, its total height is 88 meters. It is assembled and welded from 2,000 cast tin bronze panels, using a total of 725 tons of copper. The Lingshan Giant Buddha has excellent resistance to atmospheric corrosion, typhoons, tornadoes and earthquakes, as well as ingenious lightning protection measures. It is a masterpiece of multi-disciplinary, multi-process integrated systems engineering. During the process of designing and carving the image of the Buddha, Mr. Zhao Puchu, former president of the Buddhist Association of China, gave his attention and guidance from beginning to end. The Lingshan Giant Buddha is kind and wise, with a solemn appearance. It is a product of the integration of ancient traditional Buddhist culture and art with modern technology. Silently touch the Buddha's feet to get rid of worries, after touching the Buddha's feet, take a nap in the small pavilion next to the koi pond, the breeze is blowing gently, and there is a slight coolness 🌬️. This is what it means to be calm and cool! After a short break, I tried a bowl of Lingshan vegetarian noodles. The portion was quite large and the taste was delicious. The price of 38 yuan per bowl is still worth a try. Then we walked down the mountain and arrived at the Brahma Palace. The architecture of the Brahma Palace was magnificent and the whole palace was shining under the bright sunshine. There are many exquisite works of art inside the Brahma Palace, as well as a performance that is worth seeing, Ode to Good Fortune, which requires advance reservation of the viewing time online. Directly opposite the Brahma Palace is the Muji Mandala. The building's exterior is red and white, and it is known as the Little Potala Palace. There are many exquisite Tibetan items inside the mandala, where you can experience Tibetan Buddhist culture. The whole journey took about 7 hours. There are also tour buses in the scenic area, 40 per person. If you are not in a hurry, you can choose to walk and explore in depth like me. You can check the performance time of the scenic spot in the mini program and plan your entire itinerary. Friends who really want to visit Lingshan Scenic Area can rent an interpreter to learn about the culture and connotation of every part of the scenic area. Get away from the summer heat and restlessness, come to Lingshan to enjoy a Buddhist meditation journey!

💫Lingshan Scenic Area📍 No. 1, Lingshan Road, Binhu District, Wuxi City🅿️ Parking: Paid 15 yuan for more than 4 hours🎫 Ticket: 195 yuan (platform price) 💫Arrived at 10:30 AM, the weather was already quite hot. You can choose to take the sightseeing car for 40 yuan per person, but I chose to walk. The tour time is half a day. 📝You can choose a direct route for the tour: Main Gate➡️Nine Dragons Bathing➡️Xiangfu Temple➡️Lingshan Buddha. If you arrive at 11:00, it is recommended not to go to Lingshan Buddha first but to go to➡️Lingshan Brahma Palace to watch the Auspicious Ode (included in the ticket, reserve for the 11:30 show) which is quite impressive! 🍴After watching the performance, I recommend the buffet at Brahma Palace (60 yuan per person, quite cost-effective, and the taste is also good)➡️Five Seal Mandala and then climb Lingshan Buddha (but because we were not familiar with the route, we ended up at Nine Dragons Bathing again and accidentally saw the fountain show) ✨Finally, about Lingshan Buddha, climb at noon and bring a bottle of water. Take the elevator🛗 directly to the Buddha's feet, take some photos, and enjoy the breeze, very comfortable~ ❣️Lingshan Scenic Area, as you wish, the koi are well-kept, a great place for burning incense and making wishes🙏

First, I visited the downtown area of Wuxi, where skyscrapers abound, truly worthy of its reputation as a new first-tier city. The transportation is very convenient. Skyscrapers are everywhere, and there are quite a lot of people, but I was surprised to find a Starbucks. The second floor was very spacious and empty, with a great view and lush greenery outside the window. Then we took a taxi to the Lingshan Grand Buddha, which is 40km away. It was incredibly tall and impressive. We used a tour vehicle for the whole journey, and in doing so, we also reached 20,000 steps in one day. Amazing.

Wuxi is home to the Lingshan Grand Buddha and the Nianhua Bay, both of which charge a hefty entrance fee.

There are snacks and accommodations available, and in addition to watching performances and lanterns at night, you can also go boating🚣. Regular events are held, and during our visit, there was even a bonfire party, which was very lively.
