The Big Buddha City is the landmark of Fo Guang Shan. The 36-meter-tall Great Buddha is so condescending that one can see the Buddha's compassionate face from dozens of miles away. The whole body is golden, facing Dawu Mountain, overlooking the Gaoping River, with morning light and evening shadow, and a variety of scenes. When it was consecrated in 1975, Master Hsing Yun said in French: "Collect high-pitched sand and stones, take spring water from the west, and gather all the manpower in Taiwan to build the tallest Buddha." He explained the hardships of building the Buddha. There are 480 receiving and guiding Buddhas surrounding the Buddha.
