Jia County, under the jurisdiction of Pingdingshan City, Henan Province. Located in the central-western part of Henan Province and the northern part of Pingdingshan City, it covers a total area of 737 square kilometers. Jia County is the hometown of Zhang Liang. It can be mainly summarized as 'one county, two heritages, four places, four treasures, six towns, and six unique features.' 'One county' refers to the ancient county with a thousand years of history. 'Two heritages' are the two national-level intangible cultural heritage projects: Jia County's large bronze ware and Yaozhuang's gold-inlaid jade. 'Four places' include the birthplace of national youth culture, China's poetry creation base, China's Tang Jun porcelain base, and the 'Shan'erxi' tobacco base. 'Four treasures' consist of four national key cultural relics protection units: the resting place of the great literary figures of the Northern Song Dynasty, Su Xun, Su Shi, and Su Zhe - the Three Su Garden (Three Su Temple and Tombs), the best-preserved county-level Confucian temple - Jia County Confucian Temple, an important node of the thousand-mile tea route - Jia County Shan-Shaan Guild Hall, and the first red stone ancient fortress in the Central Plains - Linfen Fortress.

Sansu Garden

Sansu Garden is located in Pingdingshan Bang County, previously known as Sansu Tomb. Later, a memorial hall was built, and it officially became the Sansu Garden scenic area. Su Shi's hometown is Meishan in Sichuan, and this place is named Xiao Emei Mountain, possibly due to the difficult Shu roads and many other reasons such as the difficulty for leaves to return to their roots, Su Shi expressed his wish to be buried here during his lifetime. Su Zhe once served as an official in Xuchang and was also buried here after his death to accompany his elder brother. Their father, Su Xun, was already buried in the old home of Meishan, Sichuan. The local county magistrate then found some of Su Xun's clothing to be reburied here, hence the creation of Sansu Tomb. Later, many descendants of the Su family were also buried here.

It is the tallest Buddha statue with a Guinness World Record. Hundreds of high monks from home and abroad came to consecrate it collectively.

I record it lightly, and send auspiciousness and blessings to the destined people who swipe to it. Tour route: Buddha Spring Temple Gate▶️Heavenly King Hall⏩Great Hero Treasure Hall⏩Big Buddha. The temple provides a free incense for each person, and the incense should be devout. The tour took about more than 2 hours, there are many steps, if your legs and feet are not good, it is recommended to prepare a cane or a hiking stick to relieve pressure. Small tips The scenic parking lot is very large, parking fee is 10 yuan / time At present, the area near the Big Buddha is not open, and it is impossible to get close to the Big Buddha. The scenic area is free of admission, including Buddha Spring Temple. There are really few places to eat nearby. P is the must-pass route to the Big Buddha. There are some small stalls, all of which are cold skin fried noodles and the like. Out of the scenic parking lot, there are several storefronts to eat, and there is nothing delicious in Zhaozhuang Town further ahead. The entrance is very soliciting for photos, mainly for tourists who touch the Buddha's hand, 10 yuan / piece.
