The Grand Buddha at Ling Shan is a standing statue of Amitabha Buddha in Wuxi, Jiangsu, China. It was completed in 1996 and stands in the Lingshan Scenic Area, on the north shore of Lake Tai in Mashan Subdistrict. It is one of the largest Buddha statues in China and in the world.
The statue is 289 feet (88 meters) tall, including a 30-foot (9-meter) lotus pedestal. It is bronze and weighs more than 700 metric tons. In 2008 the Five-signets Palace and Brahma Palace were built southeast of the statue.
Other sights in the scenic area include a scene of the Buddha's birth and a replica of the Hand of Buddha. The sources used here do not name a designer or client, and they give no cost or admission details. Those entries, with the style, are assumptions that still need checking.
