The grandest of monuments in Wuxi are perhaps located in Mt. Ling Shan where the world’s tallest Buddha statue is present. Along with the statue the other attractions in the place include:

  • Grand Screen Wall is a huge wall about 8mts tall and 40mts wide which is at the entrance. It has inscriptions of Buddhist mantras on both sides and has 5 bridges dedicated to 5 aspects of life.
  • The Altar of Buddha’s footprints each 1.2mts long and 0.6mts wide are the replicas of those in India. Buddha is also known as Sakyamuni. Behind the footprints is the Gate of Five wisdoms.
  • The gate leads to a music fountain where a small statue of Sakyamuni springs up from the centre and the nine dragons around the fountain spout water on it as it rotates. It is considered holy to drink this water.
  • After crossing the Ginkgo square and ascending 218 sets of stairs we come to The Grand Buddha statue 88mts tall. The statue and lotus pedestal are covered with 2000 sheets of bronze weighing 725 tons. The statue is earthquake resistant, wind proof and un-corroded symbolic of the strength that lies in wisdom.
  • Further ahead is the Brahma palace which is about 70,000sqmts large and its glory lies only second to the statue. Its walls are covered with murals depicting the stories of Buddha while the ceiling is in shape of a blooming lotus. The entire hall covered in bronze and lit with golden light which gives a dazzling appearance.

The monuments instil a deep sense of awe and wonder and makes you realize the immense potential of human beings and points to our aesthetic and spiritual dimensions.
