A very tall Buddha statue standing at 88 meters in WuXi, you can actually see it from far away! This place is totally huge, I’d recommend using the cart service if you’re together with elderly.

Went there in the afternoon. The buildings were very beautifully built and I really appreciated the many different Buddhist architectural styles including a Tibetan temple. Make sure to take a picture of the event times because they are very worth watching. Also if you want food, I recommend you go to the nearby restaurants unless you’re vegan. To a westerner with a strong currency, tickets are average but if you are visiting from a low purchasing power country, tickets are pretty expensive. Even then, I believe it is very worth it due to the fact that you are visiting many massive temples. If you want to visit everything there, make sure to have at...
