Urumqi Hongguangshan Grand Buddha Temple (Dafu Temple) is the largest Han Buddhist temple in northwest China, and its most distinctive feature is its magnificent Buddha statue.
The 40.8m tall giant Sakyamuni Buddha statue is made of brass, and its right hand is in the pose of 'Muweiren', which eliminates fear, and its left hand is in the pose of 'Yeowonin', which grants wishes. The delicate details and majestic appearance of the Buddha statue can be considered a work of art imbued with the spirit of craftsmanship. The huge gate at the entrance to the temple symbolizes the 'Gate of Enlightenment', and if you visit around sunset, you can enjoy the enchanting scenery of the snow-capped mountains and the Grand Buddha.
