Orient Buddha Park
The Orient Buddha Park (Dongfang Fodu)
Today, the Orient Buddha Park has been established upon this historic site with the purpose of reviving the grandeur of the Tang-era landscape. It preserves the area's original forest setting and features over ten thousand stone Buddhist statues seamlessly integrated into the natural environment. Following the ancient principle of "following the mountain's contours," the sculptures are arranged at varying heights, creating a sacred atmosphere where "thousands of Buddhas hide among the woods, and hundreds of grottoes lie within the caves."
More than a scenic site, the park is a living dialogue between past and present. It captures the enduring elegance of Buddhist culture across millennia while showcasing the skill of modern artisans in carrying forward the ancient tradition of stone sculpture. This is where history is respectfully recalled, and artistic heritage is vividly alive.
