Introduction to the Big Buddha Building: The Great Seated Maitreya Buddha in Cave 5 (the second cave in the original edition) at the entrance of Mount Xumi Grottoes is 20.6 meters high and is the largest Buddha statue sculpted on the mountainside of Mount Xumi. The Buddha's head is combed into a bun, his face is plump, kind and gentle, his ears hang down from his shoulders, he is wearing a cassock, and his hands are naturally placed on his knees.
It is said that there was originally a three-story overhanging building to protect the outside of the Big Buddha, so it is commonly known as the Big Buddha Tower. However, after hundreds of years of war and man-made destruction, the eaves of the cave have long since collapsed, and the Big Buddha has been completely exposed outside the cave, thus becoming the center of Mount Xumi Grottoes. famous mark.
