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!
