无锡灵山大佛
Lingshan Grand Buddha located at the south of the Maji Mountain, Wuxi, Jiangsu Province, the Grand Buddha and the famous Xiangfu temple nearby are the well-known scenic resorts in Wuxi. At more than 88 meters high, the Grand Buddha at Ling Shan is a bronze Sakyamuni standing Buddha outdoor, weighing over 700 tons. It was built in the end of 1996. It is one of the largest Buddha statues in China. Lingshan Grand Buddha lies in the Small Lingshan named by the famous Great Monk Xuanzang in Tang Dynasty. The Buddhas are made of tin, bronze, created, and completed according to the record of the Buddhist Scriptures Tathagata 32 Images. Since Lingshan is so famous in china, our Wuxi mandarin school’s students decide to come here to visit the actual buddha.Standing solemnly at the site of famous Tang Dynasty Xiangfu Temple, the Grand Buddha is pleasing to tourists, widely looking at all the living creatures. The left and right hands have hand print with "wish", wishing the world happy and welfare and the character on the Buddha's front chest represents solemnity and virtue. During Spring Festival, travelers from around the world come to Xiangfu Temple to listen to the tolling of the bell, believed to bring good luck.  Our mandarin learning students Eddie and Nicolas did the same pose as buddha, it’s like they are the french buddha, when they back to their country they can bing wish, luck,welfare to more and more people.
