Nature's Buddha

As one of the main peaks of Tulou Mountain, the northern Shandong side looks like a magnificent Buddha, as high as tens of meters, known as the "open-air King Kong" and the local people are also called "flash Buddha". It is far from clear that its head, body, lower limbs, and even facial features give people a sense of grandeur and roughness as a whole. It has the artistic style of the Tang Dynasty. This is carved by the majority of believers on the basis of the original shape and physiognomy. To achieve the perfect combination of natural landscape and human landscape.

It's gone. Why not fix it. It's a shame.

Located in Beibei Mountain of Xining City, it is one of the peaks of Tulou Mountain. After a long period of weathering, the whole mountain looks like a great Buddha. It has a natural look, magnificent momentum, and no artificial axe and chisel marks. Therefore, it is called a natural Buddha and one of the tourist attractions in Xining. So the whole appreciation process is suitable for the long-term view. The tickets are free to enjoy the magical weathering effect of nature.

Up the main hall of King Kong in the open air is a steep staircase. Up the staircase, you come to Tuloushan "Nine Caves and Eighteen Caves". In the middle of Tulou Mountain, there are two open-air diamonds, one in the East and one in the west. The two open-air diamonds are more than 30 meters high. These two diamonds are the prominent parts of the two cliffs, which are washed away by the mountains and rivers and eroded by the wind and rain, forming a peculiar shape and landform. During the Wei, Jin and Southern Dynasties, believers carved two statues of Buddha on the basis of their original shapes and landforms, which were also called "open-air diamonds". These two open-air diamonds were also called God, King of Heaven, and the local people were called Flash Buddha, which meant flashing out from the mountains. The one in the West has been weathered and collapsed, and the one in the East is still intact. From a distance, the head, body, lower limbs and facial features of the Buddha are clear, bold and rugged, with the artistic style of the Tang Dynasty, which is a perfect combination of natural landscape and human landscape. To the west of Sumfo, palaces and pavilions are built on the hills, scattered in different places. From left to right, they are Zhaitang, Yuhuang Pavilion, Hou Cheng Huang, Dou Mu Dian, Kuixing Pavilion (Tuguan Tower), Three Western Holy Halls and Guandi Dian.

You can go to see and feel Buddhist culture. People climb mountains and don't go there.
