The Jiuhuashan Grand Wish Cultural Park is located in Kecun at the northern foot of the Jiuhuashan Scenic Area. It is divided into parts such as the bronze statue of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, the inner and outer Mingtang squares, the Buddhist culture exhibition center, the Buddhist institute, the Puji courtyard, and the Xiaoxitian scenic area. The 99-meter-high outdoor bronze statue of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva is the landmark of the scenic area. The holy statue of Ksitigarbha has five major characteristics. First, the height of the holy statue of Ksitigarbha. Second, the large white marble lotus. Third, the large outdoor glazed wall. Fourth, the large Buddha’s light pool with a diameter of 99 meters and a depth of only 20 centimeters. The bottom of the pool is all paved with golden mosaics. Fifth, there are many precious tree species planted, including more than 300 kinds of precious trees such as camphor trees, Ginkgo biloba, osmanthus, and Mexican bald cypress. The ingenuity of the bronze statue lies in the angle it is selected. The bronze statue faces west with its back to the east. It is in the standing posture of a bhikkhu. The right hand holds a tin staff and the left hand holds a Mani pearl. With Lion Peak as the background, when the sun rises, there are thousands of rays of sunlight when viewed from the front. Moreover, in the spring equinox and autumn equinox seasons of each year, a unique ‘Buddha’s light’ phenomenon will form.
