Today, I have arrived at the Lingshan Scenic Area. Located in Mashan Town, northwestern Wuxi City in Jiangsu Province, Lingshan Scenic Area is a destination themed around Buddhist culture. It was completed in 1997 and covers an area of approximately 300,000 square meters. The most famous attractions here are the 88-meter-tall Grand Buddha statue and the extremely luxurious Brahma Palace, also known as the "Oriental Louvre." Join me as we explore this solemn and magnificent place through my camera.
