High above the bustling streets of Ürümqi stands Hongshan Mountain, crowned not only by its iconic Red Pagoda, but also by a collection of ancient Buddha carvings watching over the city.
These weathered statues, peacefully embedded in the rocky cliffs, create a moment of calm amidst the noise — a place where nature, spirituality, and history meet.
✨ Why Visit the Buddhas of Hongshan Mountain?
🗿 Ancient Buddhist Carvings hidden along the pathways
🌆 Panoramic views of Ürümqi’s skyline from above
🧘 A serene escape from the city rush
