Category: Tourist Attractions 👁 100 views

Buddha's Trace Cave was built in the 20th year of the Daoguang reign during the Qing Dynasty (1840 AD) by Master Haiguang and his disciples, who carved it out of the rock face. The cave enshrines the Maitreya Buddha, Guanyin Bodhisattva, and the Eighteen Arhats, making it an authentic Buddhist site. At its peak, it housed over ten monks. The Maitreya Buddha is one of the six great bodhisattvas in Mahayana Buddhism and the designated successor to the Buddha. The reclining Buddha in Buddha's Trace Cave is the largest stone-carved Buddha in the Guangzhou area, with a vivid and benevolent expression and a heartwarming smile. Legend has it that touching the reclining Buddha brings good fortune and success in all endeavors.
