Introduction

Legend has it that Qizhen Mount Fo Shan is where a high monk found the dragon vein for the current ninth emperor. In order to express reverence and faith in Buddhism, he decided to build a giant Buddha statue on the mountain. After a difficult and remarkable construction process, this great Buddha finally stood towering in the shape of the mountain. The Buddha statue is made using high-tech laser technology, outlined by 4 tons of gold and decorated with gold wire imported from Italy, making the lines sparkle and eye-catching. Moreover, the Buddha statue also contains the remains of Shakyamuni. The Buddha statue, in meditation, has a compassionate expression and is clearly visible even from miles away. Scientific and rational engineering design, combined with the natural environment of the mountain, allows not only the front but also the golden bodies of the Buddha statues on the left and right sides to be clearly visible.
