Huge statue of Buddha on Mount Jiuhua

Written By Khoa Duong

We took the express train from Nanjing to Mount Jiuhua. The trip took 2.5 hours. This time there were far fewer people, less crowding and pushing compared to when we took the train from Emeishan to Jiuzhaigou.

There we visited a park with a statue of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, 99 meters high.

Right after I took the previous photo, this pigeon landed in front of me. What a photographic moment.
