Sitting high on China’s Mount Yao, the Spring Temple Buddha is one of the nation’s greatest tourist attractions.
Spring Temple Buddha is one of the tallest and most majestic statues in the world, towering over the Zhaocun township of Lushan County, Henan, in China. Completed in 2008 following the Taliban destruction of the Bamiyan Buddhas, this monumental Buddha is listed as one of the national 5A tourist attractions in China by the Chinese government. Incredibly, the statue is made from 2200 tons of copper, 1500 tons of steel, and 108 tons of gold, which give the statue its gleaming, iridescent quality that can be seen for many miles.
But the statue is only one of the many attractions one can expect to encounter during a visit to the Spring Temple Buddha scenic spot, which features a series of both natural and manmade attractions.
