The hair of the Three Buddhas in Bixiao Rock is in the shape of spiral coils, with precious adornments on top. Despite going through the vicissitudes of time, the lines are still distinct. The stone statues all have circular halos around their heads and bodies.
The middle statue is of Sakyamuni, the modern Buddha. The left one is called the Medicine Buddha, the Buddha of the past, who is in charge of the past world. One hand points downward and the other upward, with the left palm holding a alms bowl.


The right statue is the Amitabha Buddha, the Buddha of the future. It shows the meditative pose of the Dhyana Mudra, that is, both hands are overlapped and placed on the abdomen.


Opening hours: Open from 08:00 – 17:30 throughout the year
