Step into the park where the Buddha is located, see its hair featuring 1,021 buns coiled and embedded in the massive head, walk down the twisting staircase to the 233-foot (71-m) statue, admire its symmetrical posture and the solemnity of its perpetual stillness. After you return to the top of the cliff, visit Wuyou Temple to see hundreds of seated arhats, and then view the architecture of Lingyun Temple. If you want to see the panoramic view of the Buddha, you may take a boat at your own cost, your guide will be happy to help.
