As a natural landscape, the reclining Buddha does have a special charm, and the entrance to the distant view is the reclining Buddha, which is also the best viewing direction.
The Heavenly Buddha is 3800 meters long, with clear facial features and distinct limbs. Head pillow southwest green mountain, feet to the northeast Ming Lake, forehead is full and square, the ground is thick and deep, the lion's nose is slightly upturned, the smile is often open, and the look is solemn. With the change of angle, the Heavenly Buddha shows different images, from the south is the Heavenly Buddha, from the east is the long-haired and flowing Guanyin Bodhisattva, from the northeast is a mighty tiger. One mountain, three scenes, one Buddha, four phases, strange and wonderful.
There is also a legend about the Reclining Buddha, according to legend, under the Lying Buddha Mountain, there is a tiger garden village, and there is an old man in the village who feeds a white dragon horse and fights with the tigers that endanger the township at night. Hua Fang mistakenly cut the horse's mane, causing the horse to lose its divine power and be injured by the tiger. Hua Fang was angry and attacked the tiger, and was also injured. The Heavens had mercy, so they asked the Buddha and The Bodhisattva Guanyin to be kind to the tiger, and after the event was completed, the Dharma body turned into a green mountain. In order to commemorate the Buddha Fuhu, during the Southern and Northern Dynasties, a reclining Buddha temple was built at the foot of the mountain to enshrine the Buddha and Guanyin. There is no way to verify the legends, but as a scenery, it is enough to make people think.
