I flew to Urumqi just to see this Buddha statue|| First day in the Western Regions

|| First day in the Western Regions. I flew to Urumqi just to see this Buddha statue🙏|| The golden Buddha statue I saw on the first day in the Western Regions, with its back against Bogda Peak, is a 40-meter-tall statue of Sakyamuni that shines with golden light in the sunset. The snow-capped mountains and the Buddha statue in the same frame are truly stunning. . 📍Hongguangshan Giant Buddha Temple 🕐Monday to Sunday 8:00–20:00 🎫Free/no reservation required . 🚶There is a walking distance of more than 1 km from the foot of the mountain to the temple. You can choose to walk, drive, or take a sightseeing bus. 🚗Follow the navigation when driving. You can drive directly to the parking lot. You need to pay the parking fee first, and then drive for a few more minutes to reach the parking lot🅿️ . ⚠️Tips . ✔️It is more suitable for telephoto shooting📷 ✔️It is backlit in the morning (the last few photos were taken in the morning). Be sure to visit before sunset, as the sunset shining on the Buddha statue is particularly solemn. ✔️It is next to the Urumqi Cultural Center, so you can visit both.
