Jiangsu Wuxi: The Grand Buddha in Lingshan Mountain

Compared with exquisite Donglin Academy, the Brahma Palace scenic spot can be described with the word “resplendent”. The first step I put into the hall, I was shocked by the golden dome and huge marble columns. A dizzying pastiche of Dongyang woodcarvings, hand paintings, glass products, Yangzhou lacquer ware and cloisonné enamel etc all jump into my eyes.

As a multi-functional cultural building for tourism, exhibitions and cultural experiences, Lingshan Brahma Palace has been built beside a mountain in the integration of the Chinese Buddhist rock-cave art and traditional Buddhist building elements.

There is a huge revolving stage in Shrine with the area of 35,000 square meters and the dome of 30 meters in height. Light up 1500 lotus lamps atop the building just like staying in the starry universe. Timed giant musical history drama will be performed in the Shrine every day, expressing legend experience of Buddha.
