Rainbow Mountain Big Buddha Introduction
The Rainbow Mountain Buddha is located on Xinkai Road in Liugui District, and is also known as the Liugui Buddha. Established by the Rainbow Mountain Religious Foundation, construction began in 2000 and took 15 years, culminating in its completion and opening to the public in 2015. The Buddha stands at 20 meters tall, nearly seven stories high, and is cast from 167 tons of bronze. Its main body is grand, with a closed-eye depiction of compassion and serenity; it appears solemn and imposing up close. In front of the Buddha, there is a worship platform with a large bronze incense burner and bronze altar, featuring traditional and ornate designs. Visitors can climb the steps to reach the Buddha. In recent years, the Buddha has become a landmark and popular photo spot in the Liugui area, with a temple behind it that features a corridor housing the 12 zodiac Vajra Bodhisattvas, symbolizing the 12 zodiac signs. Everyone is welcome to come and admire the Buddha. A suggested visit time is around 1 hour, allowing for entry inside the Buddha for exploration or to enjoy the beauty of the exquisite crafts of the buildings and statues within the park.
