Nestled within the tranquility of the Mencius Mountain, the Mencius Mountain Grand Buddha, also known as the West Mountain Grand Buddha, traces its origin back to the remnants of the Kaihua Temple on Mencius Mountain. Unfortunately, during the waning years of the Yuan Dynasty, the grandeur of the Mencius Mountain Grand Buddha met its demise.

In the year 1980, a remarkable rediscovery unfolded as the Mencius Mountain Grand Buddha emerged from obscurity. At the time of its rediscovery, the head of the Buddha had vanished into the mists of time, leaving the weathered body buried beneath soil and stone. The lower extremities, measuring approximately 30 meters from base to neck, once soared to a towering height of about 46 meters. The present-day Buddha, with a newly chiseled head by subsequent generations, reflects the ongoing legacy of this majestic landmark.
