Since the Tang and Song Dynasties, there have been Buddhist activities in Wulian Mountain. The Wulianshan Buddha carved on the natural mountain is the largest Buddha in Jiangbei, which is very spectacular. The royal temple, known as the "heavenly movement", is well-known in the north and south of the river.
When abbot Juezhao was restoring Guangming Temple, he found a huge stone, which looked like a stone Buddha, behind the Tibetan Scripture Building and on the west side of Dabei Peak. By skilled craftsmen, the Buddha's head was carved, and it became the statue of Sakyamuni, the founder of Mingshan Mountain, with a height of 28 meters and a width of 16 meters, which was majestic and solemn.
The giant Buddha is 28.7 meters high and 17 meters wide. It sits with its head leaning against the mountain and overlooking. The head of the Buddha statue is a complete and huge granite on the top of the mountain. It is said that the forehead of the giant Buddha is sapphire. This Buddha statue, like a masterpiece made in heaven, is unique in the north of the Yangtze River, adding a peerless landscape to Wulian Mountain.
