The Mongshan Buddha is a miracle. The Great Buddha was excavated in the days of Tianbao in the Northern Qi Dynasty. It was originally a cliff Buddha statue after Kaihua Temple in Mengshan, Li Yuan, Li Zhi and Empress Wu Zetian in the Tang Dynasty, Li Ke, Emperor Wu of the latter Tang Dynasty, and Liu Zhiyuan, emperor of the latter Han Dynasty, all came here to rite Buddha. The great Buddha was destroyed at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, and was hidden in the deep mountains until the census of Taiyuan place names was rediscovered in 1980. However, the damage was very serious, the weathering was severe, and the Buddha's head did not know where to go. Now the Mongshan Buddha is going home according to the historical records. On the basis of the original records, the head of the Buddha is redesigned and installed. The chest and neck part of the Buddha is exposed at the site. It is 17.5 meters high, 25 meters wide, and the neck diameter is 5 meters wide. The Tang Dynasty records "200 feet high" and the current 63 meters are calculated according to the ordinary ruler of the Tang Dynasty. In terms of height, Mengshan Buddha is the second largest Buddha in the world, and in terms of age, it is the earliest large stone Buddha statue in the world. At present, the Mongshan Grand Buddha Scenic Area is planned and constructed centering on the Grand Buddha. The Grand Buddha Scenic Area is free of charge, but you need to take a bus (strongly recommended) to and from the parking lot and the scenic spot post station, 1.2 kilometers from the post station to the Grand Buddha. The average person walks for about 15 minutes. There are other monuments nearby that can be turned around. This scenic spot is not far from Jinci Temple. It is suitable for self-driving. It is recommended to go there. It feels that in a few years, the fame will rise and tickets will be collected.

    There are not many people outdoors, it is very good to visit, but after entering the gate, you have to take a bus to get to the scenic spot. It takes less than five minutes to get to the scenic spot. The charge is ten yuan per person, but you can't climb three or four kilometers by yourself.

    Very convenient, there will be staff guidance when you go in, Mengshan Giant Buddha has been going to go, this time I will finally see it, the Giant Buddha is solemn, and I have seen a lot of monuments on the road. It is recommended to visit Kaihua Temple first, and then keep walking along the trail to see the museum, and slowly arrive at the Big Buddha's front.

    More niche attractions, the difficulty of climbing the mountain is very low, do a small traffic to reach the middle of the mountain, basically half an hour to get to the Buddha, although the one-way 6 yuan is not expensive, but it is not difficult to go, half an hour is enough, basically It is a flat road, and then climbing the mountain. It is recommended to go up the mountain on the boardwalk and go down the mountain and cross the river. Take the flat road in the outer circle, don't take the boardwalk, you can walk many attractions along the route, and you can see the monks who practice. The Big Buddha is worth seeing. Standing at the foot of the Buddha will have a sense of awe.

    Leaving the last attraction in Taiyuan, I was temporarily interested, but there were surprises. One was that there were not many people and it was very quiet. The other was that the scenic spot was managed in an orderly manner and the environment was good. The third was that during the Spring Festival, there were folk performances and there were not many audiences, but the actors were very enthusiastic. Very good accident trip.

    The scenic spot opened at 8:00. We entered the park in the first wave. There were few people in the off-season and felt that the venue was chartered. Take a sightseeing bus from the entrance of the scenic spot to the mountainside, then walk up the mountain, and visit the Yujia Bridge, Guanyintang, Ancient Caves, Kaihua Temple, Iron Buddha Hall, Lianli Tower all the way to the Mengshan Giant Buddha on the top of the mountain.
