If you are at Xiayuan Station, you can take bus No.5 or No.839 to Luocheng.
If you are in a high-tech development zone, you can take bus No.858 to Luocheng.
After getting off at Luocheng, there is a sign of Mengshan Giant Buddha. The route from Luocheng to the Giant Buddha is: Luocheng-the entrance of the scenic spot-Sidi Village-the Giant Buddha. It is about 3 kilometers from Luocheng to the entrance of the scenic spot. There are vans and motor tricycles next to the bus stop sign in Luocheng, about 5~ 10 yuan per person. It is meaningless to say that scenic spots are mainly good scenery. As for the giant Buddha, the scars are too heavy, hehe! The following is some information I copied, I hope it will be useful to you!
Jinyang Mengshan Giant Buddha is located in the south of the north peak of Mengshan Mountain, carved by the mountain. Due to years of wind and rain erosion, the rock surface has been severely weathered, and small wormwood trees have grown in the peeling place of its bare and straight chest and neck, losing its original style, so that people don't know that it was the giant Buddha of that year, standing in the arms of the giant Buddha without knowing it. No wonder former Buddhist explorers lamented that "the giant Buddha no longer exists" and "only rocks remain". The exposed chest and neck of Jinyang Xishan Giant Buddha is 17.5 meters high, 25 meters wide and 5 meters wide in neck diameter. It was recorded as "200 feet high" in the Tang Dynasty, which was about 63 meters according to the common scale of the Tang Dynasty, only 8 meters lower than the Leshan Giant Buddha in China and Sichuan (7 1 m high), and surpassed the Bamiyan Giant Buddha in Afghanistan (the world's largest Buddha). Western countries can't distinguish the "Ba" Buddha clearly and think that the "Ba" Buddha was carved in the "third to seventh centuries", which is an inaccurate estimate. However, it is clearly recorded in the history books that it was carved in the second year of Tianbao in the Northern Qi Dynasty in the sixth century (55 1). If the "Ba" Buddha was carved in the "7th century", the giant Buddha in Jinyang Xishan was a century earlier. It is 162 years earlier than the Leshan Giant Buddha carved in the first year of Kaiyuan in Tang Dynasty (7 13). Accordingly, Jinyang Xishan Giant Buddha is the second largest Buddha in the world in terms of height and the earliest large stone Buddha statue in the world in terms of age.
The temple where the Giant Buddha in Mengyangshan is located was originally the Great Zhuang Yan Temple built in the Eastern Wei Dynasty. In the second year of Tianbao in the Northern Qi Dynasty (55 1), Levin donated to build Kaihua Temple, also known as Kaihua Temple, carved Buddha statues from the mountains and built two temples, which were called "the second temple of Dashi Cave". It can be seen that the "Xishan Giant Buddha", formerly known as "Grottoes", is located in Shangsi. In the early years of Emperor Wendi's Renshou (602), the Giant Buddha Pavilion was built and renamed "Jingming Temple". Tang Wude three years (620), Li Yuan stayed in Jinyang, renamed Kaihua Temple. In 660, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, Li Zhi and Wu Zetian, came to Bing to pay homage to the Buddha statues of Kaihua Temple and Tongzi Temple. They "prostrated themselves and sighed, giving up treasures, possessions and clothes", which made the governor of Bing Gui "prepare the sacred face quickly and solemnly" and "make it wide before opening the niche". After Wu Zetian and Li Zhi returned to Chang 'an, the capital city, two years later, the emperor's imperial palace made two cassocks, sent messengers to send them to Bing, and gave them two cassocks of giant Buddha statues. The gold and silver jewelry decorated on the cassock shines brightly, and "five-colored cliffs, caves, candles and mountains" and "Taoist temples are watched by thousands of people" caused a sensation in the guest. When Tang Wuzong destroyed the giant Buddha, the pavilion was in disrepair, but the giant Buddha was not damaged. In the second year of the late Tang Dynasty (895), Li Keyong, king of Jin Dynasty, exhausted the power of Hedong and spent 300,000 yuan to rebuild the Giant Buddha Pavilion in five years. In 945, two years after the Five Dynasties, Liu Zhiyuan, king of Beiping, stayed in Beijing (Jinyang) to build a Buddhist pavilion. The stately pavilion rebuilt this time is five stories high, with 13 trees, 26 rooms and 130 rooms on each floor, covering the 200-foot-high giant Buddha, which shows the scale of the pavilion. At the end of Yuan Dynasty (1368), the temple collapsed, the head of the Buddha fell off, and the lower part of the Buddha was covered with broken bricks and mud stones on the mountain. In the 18th year of Hongwu in Ming Dynasty (1385), the former temple was rebuilt by Zhu, the king of Jin, and was named Huokeji. The 800-year-old "Xishan Giant Buddha" has been buried for more than 600 years.
Since the Northern Qi Dynasty carved Buddha, the inscriptions of Sui, Tang, Five Dynasties, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties have been reconstructed, expanded, excavated and recorded. Except for the inscriptions on the ruins of Qiansi Temple, which have been moved to the Shuangta Temple in Taiyuan for preservation, the inscriptions of other generations have not been exported, so there are still a large number of funerary objects in the place where they are still there. As for the remains of the giant Buddha's stomach, hands, legs, feet, pedestal and pavilion, they are all covered with mud and stones on the hillside under the giant Buddha's chest. The investigation of this giant Buddha has only touched half, and it still needs to be cleaned up and excavated.
