[Lingshan Grand Buddha]
Marvel at the 88-meter-tall bronze standing statue of Sakyamuni. Built against the mountain and facing Taihu Lake, it embodies the majestic concept of "the mountain is a Buddha, the Buddha is a mountain."

Watch the dynamic sculpture performance at the Nine Dragons Bathing Square, experiencing the perfect fusion of Buddhist culture and modern art.
[Taihu Lake Scenery]
Drive along the lakeside road to admire the vast, misty expanse of China's third-largest freshwater lake, with the Mashan Islands scattered like emeralds across the water. Observe egrets gliding over the lakeside wetlands. If visiting in spring, cherry blossoms complement the lake views in a picturesque harmony.
[Yuantouzhu (Turtle Head Isle)]
Known as the "Top Scenic Spot of Taihu Lake," it is famous for its unique landform where giant rocks extend into the lake. Stroll along Changchun Bridge, where cherry blossoms bloom like clouds in March. Ascend Guangming Pavilion to overlook the boundless waves of Taihu Lake. Explore classical garden structures such as the Juqu Shengjing Archway and the Lotus Depth Pavilion, experiencing the poetic sentiment expressed by Guo Moruo: "The finest beauty of Taihu Lake lies in Yuantouzhu."
