Cherry Blossom in WUXI
#cherryblossom2024
Guess what? Mount Ling Shan isn't just home to the world's biggest bronze Buddha—it's also a cherry blossom paradise! Picture this: cherry blossom trees lining the riverbanks and winding through the garden, like nature's own pink and fuchsia carpet. It's a photographer's dream!
Seriously, this park is massive, packed with these stunning trees. And let's not forget about the temple and the Grand Buddha towering nearby. If you're into breathtaking views and Insta-worthy shots, this place is an absolute must-visit. Trust me, you won't be disappointed!
One of the majestic temples in China🪬💜
What I find fascinating about China is that how many majestic Buddhist statues and temples are here in this country. Lingshan Giant Buddha is one of those temples located at the northern bank of Taihu Lake, Wuxi City, Jiangsu province. 🪷📿
The bronze buddha statue here is 88 meters tall which was built in 1997 and is 17 meters taller than Leshan Giant Buddha in Sichuan. It’s one of the tallest buddha statues in China and also in the world.
I visited there on the weekend from Shanghai. I took the high speed train from Hongqiao station to Wuxi and then took a direct bus. In the scenic spot, there were 100s of devotees praying and soaking up the divinely atmosphere. I did the same 😌🙏
One of my best weekend trip! 💕 Just go there 😀
Don’t miss the show.

As soon as you enter Huanhua Bay, it seems to have entered the wonderland. The lake view, green plants, thatched cottages, waterwheels and stone statues are under the cover of white mist, which is extraordinarily quiet. Of course, the most shocking is the water curtain lighting movie. One lake, one boat, one reed, silent, but Zen. And when the light is projected on a huge water curtain, it seems that water has life. The water curtain movie relies on the fan-shaped surface of the water to make a screen, and uses the light to project a huge light and shadow effect. Huanhua Bay is named after the Buddhist temple of Buddhism, which shows the Buddha's understanding of Zen. Therefore, the water curtain film is grown by the lotus flower, which leads to the dynamic scene of the Buddha's fingers and flowers, which is extremely shocking.

It is commonly said: to gaze upon the Great Buddha, to touch the Buddha's hand, to embrace the Buddha's feet, to offer three sticks of incense, is to pray for the peace and safety of one's family.

Wuxi Travel Guide
Thinking of going out for a trip during the National Day holiday, I was afraid of traffic jams if traveling too far, so I decided to visit the surrounding cities. It took a little over an hour to drive from Nantong to Wuxi.
✅The Lingshan Grand Buddha is worth visiting! It's very meaningful and also a great spot for taking photos. Praying for peace and burning incense there is quite nice. You can consider buying a sightseeing car ticket; they announce each stop, and the car drives fast, almost like a roller coaster ride, which is quite fun. I also fed the goldfish, which were beautiful, shining like gold. You can hug the Buddha's foot, and there's no need to buy a guide for the explanation. The queue moves quickly, and once you reach the top, the view is absolutely stunning. There are also many palaces to check in at.
✅I visited the area around Sanyang Plaza, went to Henglong, Suning, and had a drink at Tea Yan Yue Se after queuing for a while. You first scan a code to pre-order, then queue up to pay. I ate at Uncle Beard's stir-fried pork, which is delicious and a must-try, along with the steamed egg and green beans. The bamboo shoots tasted a bit bland though.
✅I went to Turtle Head Isle. It's even more beautiful after winter with the seagulls. This time we bought a ticket for a tourist boat and also climbed a mountain. The main issue was the long queue to board the boat. We arrived a bit late, and it seemed there wasn't much to do besides taking photos.
✅The Sunac Snow World is so much fun!!! It's really worth visiting! Prepare gloves in advance. You can choose to bring a butt pad or not; falling on the snow is still okay. Children and beginners might want to bring one. If you fall, there are staff members to help you up. The visitors who know how to play are all very nice; they help you, teach you, and even take photos for you. It's so much fun!
✅Nanchang Street is fun! Even late at night, there are still many people around. Compared to Nantong, where I hardly see anyone, there are many snacks to try and the place is great for photos. There are also many handsome guys and pretty girls, and there's a cat café where the cats are all very beautiful!
However, I didn't get a chance to visit ✅Mao Hua Food and ✅the vegetable market that I wanted to go to when making the plan. I'll definitely go next time!
Wuxi's spring season is limited, and the upcoming Lingshan will be as beautiful as an oil painting
Spring comes with nothing to do, just busy with flowers💐
It's the season to enjoy flowers again!
The Lingshan in Wuxi for the next month can satisfy all your expectations for spring!
Please accept this punch card strategy for a spring tour of the Lingshan scenic spot👇👇👇

Located on the west side of Nine Dragons Bathing, you can see it along the electric car track. This is a 100% real flower garden newly created by Lingshan, with winding paths leading to a secluded garden full of Zen.

After entering the park in the morning, wait for the Nine Dragons Bathing performance, and the light is better when you punch the card along the way.
✅ Nine Dragons Bathing
This time I came to Lingshan just in time for the flower offering event for ten thousand people on March 3rd. Tourists can get red carnations for free, recite the prayer text under the guidance of the master, offer fresh flowers, and pray for health and peace. After the ceremony, watch the Nine Dragons Bathing, accompanied by soothing music🎵, the bronze lotus🪷 slowly opens, and the Buddha appears when the flower blooms. The nine dragon mouths spray water columns tens of meters high to bathe the Prince Buddha statue.
👉There are multiple performances every day, and the specific performance time needs to pay attention to the announcements of the scenic spot.

The 88-meter-high Lingshan Grand Buddha smiles with compassion, watching all beings. Make a wish in front of the Grand Buddha for a peaceful and smooth year.

There are multiple live performances of 'Auspicious Ode' every day, traveling through time and space to see the story of Sakyamuni's enlightenment from a prince after hardships. Remember to book the show after entering the park and arrange the time reasonably.

The peach blossoms around the lake here are in full bloom, don't miss this Jiangnan's little Tibet where you can walk through the peach blossom luck🌸. There is also the nearby Manlong Fei Tower, which also has great photo effects.
There is also the spring art market that is not limited to time, with dance performances, intangible cultural heritage handicrafts, and special food waiting for you to discover! My favorite is the 'Lingshan Bell🔔', which takes the spirit of Lingshan, and all wishes can be realized!🌸🌼🌺🌻🌷🌹🌺🌸

Lingshan Brahma Palace Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
It is located in Lingshan, Wuxi. There is on the shore of Taihu lake. This is one of the place in Lingshan. The ticket is included the show in Lingshan Brahma palace. There have a specific time on the ticket. You have to go inside in time. The show is must.
The Lingshan Grand Scenery - As the Buddha Wishes, Getting Better and Better
I visited the Lingshan Grand Scenery during the Spring Festival holiday, which is very close to the Nianhua Bay, just a ten-minute drive away. The ticket price is 205 yuan, and there are discounts available online. I highly recommend watching several performances, such as the Nine Dragons Bathing and the Auspicious Chanting in the Brahma Palace. Unfortunately, the Auspicious Chanting is not performed during the Spring Festival, which is a pity. The activity of 'Embracing Buddha's Feet' at the Great Buddha is also very popular, and the queue can take about two hours. The Great Buddha is indeed awe-inspiring, a place to purify the soul and pray for blessings and wishes.

Lingshan Scenic Spot in Wuxi, Jiangsu | Lingshan Buddha, Lingshan Brahma Palace, Five Seal Mandala City, Manfei Dragon Tower
Wuxi Lingshan Scenic Spot is located on the shore of Taihu Lake, a national 5A tourist attraction, composed of Xiaolingshan, Xiangfu Zen Temple, Lingshan Buddha and other attractions. It can be summarized as one mountain, one temple, one Buddha.
The Lingshan Buddha is located on Xiaolingshan, named by Tang Xuanzang. It is the largest bronze standing Buddha in the world, 88 meters high, with a Buddha body of 79 meters and lotus petals of 9 meters. The Buddha faces Taihu Lake, backs Lingshan, holds Longshan on the left, and leads Baihushan on the right, which is very magnificent.
The world's first dynamic landscape sculpture in the history of Buddhism - Nine Dragons Bathing, flowers bloom to see the Buddha, reappearing the story of the birth of the Buddha. When the Buddha was born from his mother's right rib, a golden lotus bloomed on the ground, and he could speak and walk as soon as he was born. He pointed to the sky with his left hand and the ground with his right hand, and said: Heaven and earth, I am the only one.
The entire building of Lingshan Brahma Palace is built according to the mountain. It is a palace-style building. The five golden and splendid pagoda tops on the outside are designed based on the 'Huata' in Dunhuang murals; the corridors, pillars, domes, and halls inside are all independent and interconnected. It is a contemporary Buddhist cultural art museum in China.
The Five Seal Mandala City is an authentic Tibetan-style building, covering an area of 8000 square meters and 31.55 meters high, with a total of six floors. The five seals represent the five Buddhas in five directions, and the Mandala City represents the perfect world of the Buddha. The prayer wheels, prayer flags, golden tops... all contain Tibetan elements. It feels like being in the Potala Palace.
The Manfei Dragon Tower is a representative building of Southern Buddhism. It is a brick and stone structure. The base of the tower is a round Xumi seat, composed of the main tower and eight small towers. The whole tower looks solemn and magnificent. On the spire of the tower, there are connected canopies and wind chimes. When the breeze blows, it jingles, solemn and distant.
Lingshan Brahma Palace, Five Seal Mandala City, and Manfei Dragon Tower are the iconic buildings of Han, Tibetan, and Southern Buddhist cultures, representing the three major Buddhist languages, symbolizing the integration of the three major Buddhisms on Lingshan.
