Mongshan Buddha is a cliff Buddha located in the northwest of Sidi Village, Jinyuan District, Taiyuan City, Shanxi Province. It is a cultural relic protection unit of Taiyuan City. The Mongshan Buddha was excavated during the period of Tianbao in the Northern Qi Dynasty. It was originally a cliff Buddha statue after the Kaihua Temple in Mongshan. Tang Gaozu Li Yuan, Tang Gaozong Li Zhi and Empress Wu Zetian, Emperor Li Keyong of the latter Tang Dynasty, and Liu Zhiyuan of the latter Han Dynasty all came here to rite Buddha. In the late Yuan Dynasty, the Mongshan Buddha was destroyed. In the census of place names in Taiyuan City in 1980, the Mongshan Buddha was rediscovered. When it was discovered, the Buddha's head was lost. The Buddha's body was buried in the earth and rocks, and the weathering was serious. Ancient books record that the height of Mengshan Buddha is 59 meters. According to actual measurement, the height from the bottom of the legs to the neck of Mengshan Buddha is about 30 meters. It is estimated proportionally that the height of the original Buddha's head is about 10 meters. In addition, the height of the pedestal repaired by later generations is 6 meters, and the original height of Mengshan Buddha is about 46 meters. Since 2007, Taiyuan has protected and developed the Mongshan Buddha, strengthened the Buddha's body, and built a new 12-meter-high Buddha's head according to the Buddha's head unearthed in Taiyuan. In October 2008, the Mongshan Buddha was opened to the public.

    There are not many people outdoors, it is very good to visit, but after entering the gate, you have to take a bus to get to the scenic spot. It takes less than five minutes to get to the scenic spot. The charge is ten yuan per person, but you can't climb three or four kilometers by yourself.

    Very convenient, there will be staff guidance when you go in, Mengshan Giant Buddha has been going to go, this time I will finally see it, the Giant Buddha is solemn, and I have seen a lot of monuments on the road. It is recommended to visit Kaihua Temple first, and then keep walking along the trail to see the museum, and slowly arrive at the Big Buddha's front.

    More niche attractions, the difficulty of climbing the mountain is very low, do a small traffic to reach the middle of the mountain, basically half an hour to get to the Buddha, although the one-way 6 yuan is not expensive, but it is not difficult to go, half an hour is enough, basically It is a flat road, and then climbing the mountain. It is recommended to go up the mountain on the boardwalk and go down the mountain and cross the river. Take the flat road in the outer circle, don't take the boardwalk, you can walk many attractions along the route, and you can see the monks who practice. The Big Buddha is worth seeing. Standing at the foot of the Buddha will have a sense of awe.

    Leaving the last attraction in Taiyuan, I was temporarily interested, but there were surprises. One was that there were not many people and it was very quiet. The other was that the scenic spot was managed in an orderly manner and the environment was good. The third was that during the Spring Festival, there were folk performances and there were not many audiences, but the actors were very enthusiastic. Very good accident trip.

    The scenic spot opened at 8:00. We entered the park in the first wave. There were few people in the off-season and felt that the venue was chartered. Take a sightseeing bus from the entrance of the scenic spot to the mountainside, then walk up the mountain, and visit the Yujia Bridge, Guanyintang, Ancient Caves, Kaihua Temple, Iron Buddha Hall, Lianli Tower all the way to the Mengshan Giant Buddha on the top of the mountain.
