Mengshan Buddha is called Xishan Buddha. Nearly 1500 years ago, it experienced five emperors. Mengshan, located more than 20 kilometers southwest of Taiyuan City, Shanxi Province, is about 66 meters high. It was restored in 2006 and opened to the public in 2008. The exposed chest and neck of Jinyang Xishan Giant Buddha is17.5m high, 25m wide and 5m wide. It was recorded as "200 feet high" in the Tang Dynasty, which was about 63 meters according to the common scale of the Tang Dynasty, only 8 meters lower than the Leshan Giant Buddha in China and Sichuan (7 1 m high), and surpassed the Bamiyan Giant Buddha in Afghanistan (the world's largest Buddha). Western countries can't distinguish the "Ba" Buddha clearly and think that the "Ba" Buddha was carved in the "third to seventh centuries", which is an inaccurate estimate. However, it is clearly recorded in the history books that it was carved in the second year of Tianbao in the Northern Qi Dynasty in the sixth century (55 1). If the "Ba" Buddha was carved in the "7th century", the giant Buddha in Jinyang Xishan was a century earlier. It is 162 years earlier than the Leshan Giant Buddha carved in the first year of Kaiyuan in Tang Dynasty (7 13). Accordingly, Jinyang Xishan Giant Buddha is the second largest Buddha in the world in terms of height and the earliest large stone Buddha statue in the world in terms of age.
