Introduction to the Stone Buddha: On the platform at the foot of the mountain surrounded by Mangshan Mountain, sits a charitable-looking Maitreya Buddha. It is 9.9 meters high, weighs more than 1,500 tons, and is made of 200 granite stones weighing 5-10 tons. Carved and cut into pieces, it is currently the largest stone Buddha in northern my country. The Giant Buddha was designed by Professor Zhao Shutong, a famous Chinese sculptor, and it took 80 masons a year to complete.
