The First Palm Sculpture in the World is a replica of the right hand of the Grand Buddha at Lingshan. It is exactly the same in shape and size as the right hand of the Grand Buddha and is replicated in a 1:1 ratio. The palm is as high as 11.7 meters, equivalent to the height of a three-story building. It is 5.5 meters wide, and the diameter of the finger is 1 meter. The total weight is 13 tons. Thus, it can be seen how majestic and tall the Grand Buddha is. The seal of the Buddha’s palm is the ‘Seal of Bestowing Fearlessness’, which means to drive away the pain of all living beings and make all living beings fearless. ‘Touching the Buddha’s hand increases happiness and longevity’. Tourists can touch the Buddha’s hand with good wishes, light an incense stick, and let the Grand Buddha drive away your troubles and bless you with a safe life throughout the year. Open all day throughout the year. The specific business status is subject to the opening situation on that day.
