Rainbow Mountain Buddha Introduction
The Rainbow Mountain Buddha is located on Xinkai Road in Liugui District, and is also known as the "Liugui Buddha." It was established by the Rainbow Mountain Religious Foundation and construction began in 2000, taking 15 years to complete, opening for free public visitation in 2015. The Buddha stands 20 meters tall, nearly seven stories high, and was cast using 167 tons of bronze. Its majestic main body features a serene and compassionate visage with closed eyes, and up close, it presents a solemn and grand presence. In front of the Buddha, there is a worship platform that houses a large bronze incense burner and an ornate bronze altar. Visitors can ascend the stairs leading up to the Buddha. In recent years, the Buddha has become a landmark and popular photo spot in the Liugui area, with a temple located behind it, where a corridor features 12 zodiac Vajras (12 Yaqsha generals), each representing one of the 12 zodiac signs. Everyone is welcome to come and explore the grandeur of the Buddha. A recommended stay is about one hour, during which visitors can enter the interior of the Buddha or explore the beauty of the architectural and artistic craftsmanship within the park.
