Maitreya Buddha

5.4

4.6/5

33 reviews

Maitreya Buddha sits atop Jinping Mountain, north of Mile City. The Buddha is 19.99 m tall and cast entirely in imported titanium gold. The statue depicts the Budai monk, with a bare belly and a wide, smiling mouth. The pedestal is inlaid with white lotus petals and ruyi jewels. There are 1,999 stone steps from the mountain gate to the Buddha platform. The number of steps, the height of the Buddha, and the year of completion all point to the number 1999. Those with limited stamina or traveling with elderly people or children can also take the scenic sightseeing vehicle directly to the top of the mountain. Along the way, the red-walled and yellow-tiled halls of Mile Temple are nestled in the greenery, said to have been first built during the Tianqi period of the Ming Dynasty. Standing at the foot of the golden Buddha and looking back, you can see the town and fields of the Mile Basin. The local area is known for the "four-in-one" concept of "city name, mountain shape, temple name, and Buddha name"—the city is named Mile, the mountain shape from a distance resembles a natural seated Maitreya statue, and the temple and the Great Buddha on the mountain are also named after Maitreya.

Kaleidoscope Art Manor

5.3

Mile · 11.5km from downtown

65 reviews

Kaleidoscope Art Manor was designed by artist Luo Xu. The entire building is constructed with red bricks stacked in interlocking circles. From a distance, it looks like a cluster of cylindrical towers growing out of the red earth, though some also see it as upright wine bottles or clusters of burning flames, echoing the local red wine culture and the fire culture of the Axi Yi people. Inside, the design combines Western-style domes with the form of traditional Chinese tile kilns, with skylights and windows on the walls arranged based on the light and shadow principles of a kaleidoscope. As the sun's angle changes throughout the day, spots of light and shadows shift across the walls and floor, creating different light and shadow effects depending on whether you visit in the morning or afternoon. The main hall displays Luo Xu's pottery sculpture work, "The Thousand-Person Choir," featuring hundreds of hand-molded coarse pottery figures lined up neatly, each with different expressions and postures, resembling a choir singing at the top of their lungs.
