Special Forces Wuxi Lingshan Grand Buddha One-Day Tour, No Backtracking

The Wuxi Lingshan Grand Buddha is truly breathtaking 🤩
Standing at the foot of the Buddha makes you feel small yet peaceful
You must see it with your own eyes 👀

🚶🏻Itinerary:
Depart from downtown around 8:00 AM, about a 40-minute drive to Lingshan Scenic Area.
It’s recommended to head straight to the Lingshan Grand Buddha first; there are fewer people in the morning, perfect for photos! Climb the 218 steps to get a close view of the Buddha and you can also touch the Buddha’s foot for blessings.
After descending, be sure to visit the Nine Dragons Bathing Square to watch the performance, held daily at 10:00, 13:30, and 15:30—super spectacular!

For lunch, you can dine at the vegetarian restaurant inside the scenic area. We recommend "Kuanxin Bamboo" Vegetarian Restaurant, with an average cost of about 50 RMB per person. The mushroom noodles and vegetarian buns are delicious!

In the afternoon, explore the Brahma Palace, where the magnificent Buddhist artworks are awe-inspiring. There is also the "Auspicious Praise" performance at 14:00 (tickets included in the package).
The Five-Impression Mandala and Manfeilong Pagoda are also worth seeing, great spots for photos with amazing vibes~

If you’re not in a hurry to leave, you can stay at a guesthouse near the scenic area!
We stayed at Lingshan Grand Buddha Guanshanju Inn, just a 5-minute walk to the scenic area. The owner was super nice and gave us a map of the area. Most importantly, the room offers a night view of the Buddha!

⚠️Useful tips:
1. During peak season, be sure to buy tickets online in advance to avoid long queues on site
2. The scenic area is large, so wear comfortable flat shoes and remember to bring sunscreen and a hat
3. To capture photos without people, get there early
4. There is very convenient luggage storage inside the scenic area, even for large items
