Super effective! The 88-meter tall Grand Buddha is so stunning it leaves you speechless! 🙏
Still don’t know where to go for National Day? Why not come to Wuxi Lingshan and high-five the Buddha! 👋
Just got back from Lingshan Scenic Area, personally tested this check-in guide and it’s super practical 👇
🚏 Efficient tour route:
Nine Dragons Bathing → The World’s Number One Palm → Koi Pond → Lingshan Grand Buddha → Ten Directions Forest → Brahma Palace → Manfeilong Tower → Five Seal Mandala
✨ Must-visit spots:
❶ Xiangfu Zen Temple
📸 Classic photo spot! You must take a perfect overlapping shot of the small Buddha and the Grand Buddha in the same frame! The red walls on both sides also make great photos~
❷ Nine Dragons Bathing
⛲️ Daily scheduled performance! The moment the golden prince statue appears as the lotus blooms is absolutely breathtaking!
❸ Brahma Palace
National Day exclusive activities‼️
🎆 Fireworks show, traditional Chinese style parade "Shilangtu," colorful party...
The palace-level dome relief alone is worth seeing!
❹ Five Seal Mandala
Known as the "Little Potala Palace of Wuxi"! 🕌
Tibetan-style architecture + exquisite thangka paintings, detail lovers will be thrilled~
❺ The World’s Number One Palm
👋 A 1:1 replica of the Buddha’s right hand, touch it to receive blessings!
❻ Telephoto shot of the Grand Buddha at the scenic area entrance
📷 Lingshan Road, directly opposite the Visitor Center, is the best shooting spot!
📍 Address: No. 1 Lingshan Road, Mashan, Binhu District, Wuxi
🕘 Opening hours: 7:30 AM - 5:30 PM
🚌 Transportation: About 40 minutes by taxi from Wuxi Station / Bus No. 88 direct access

💡 Tips:
1️⃣ Check the "Lingshan Scenic Area" official account for show times
