| Taiyuan | World's Second Largest Buddha | Mengshan Buddha. 🌈Attraction Introduction: Mengshan Buddha, a national AAAA tourist attraction and a cultural relic protection unit in Taiyuan City, is located in the northwest of Sidi Village, Jinyuan District, Taiyuan City. Mengshan Buddha was built in the Tianbao period of the Northern Qi Dynasty and has a history of about 1,500 years. It is the largest cliff Buddha and Buddha Pavilion in the Northern Dynasty of China. It was originally a cliff Buddha statue behind the Kaifu Temple in Mengshan. Tang Gaozu Li Yuan, Tang Gaozong Li Zhi and Queen Wu Zetian, Tang Wu Emperor Li Keyong, and Han Gaozu Liu Zhiyuan all came to worship the Buddha. At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, Mengshan Buddha was destroyed. In the 1980 general survey of place names in Taiyuan City, Mengshan Buddha was rediscovered. The exposed chest and neck of Mengshan Buddha are 17.5 meters high and 25 meters wide. The neck diameter is 5 meters wide. The Tang Dynasty recorded that it was "200 feet high", which is about 63 meters according to the Tang ordinary ruler. At present, it is the largest giant cliff stone carving of Sakyamuni Buddha in the world with a definite year and the earliest excavation year. Since 2007, Taiyuan City has protected and developed Mengshan Buddha. In October 2008, Mengshan Buddha was opened to the public. 🎟️Ticket Information: CNY 34 🕐️Opening Hours: 08:30-18:30 💗Other Tips: The mountain is a Buddha, and the Buddha is a mountain
