The Great Buddha at Lingshan - Ling Shan is located at the south of the Longshan Mountain; one of the largest Buddha statues.
The Grand Buddha (simplified Chinese: 灵山大佛; traditional Chinese: 靈山大佛; pinyin: Língshān Dà Fó) is located at the south of the Longshan Mountain, near Mashan, town of Wuxi, Jiangsu Province, People's Republic of China. It is one of the largest Buddha statues in China and also in the world. At more than 88 metres high, and if you count the lotus flower pedestal, the Great Buddha at Lingshan stands just over 328 feet (100 meters) tall. This makes the statue shorter than the 394-foot-tall Ushiku Amida Buddha of Japan. But he's an awe-inspiring sight, nonetheless -- notice the people standing at his toes. The statue stands in a lovely setting overlooking Lake Taihu. The Great Buddha of Lingshan is bronze and was completed in 1996. In 2008, a "Five-signets" Palace and a Brahma Palace were built south-east of the grand buddha statue.
