Explore a Mysterious Palace and 500-Ton Bronze Buddha in Yuz
Hello! Today, I’m visiting a mysterious palace located in Yulin City, Guangxi Province, China, at the Yuntian Cultural City. This is a massive imitation ancient palace-style building that encapsulates both traditional and modern Chinese culture, as well as famous architectural styles. Inside, there...
I visit a vast imitation ancient palace in Yulin’s Yuntian Cultural City, Guangxi. The building merges traditional and modern Chinese aesthetics and hosts halls filled with rare artifacts. Stone carvings, wood carvings, ceramics, and traditional costumes line the displays, reflecting a strong folk art influence from Taiwan and Fujian, funded by a Taiwanese businessman. The sixth floor houses the main highlight: a gigantic bronze Buddha statue weighing 500 tons and standing about 30 meters tall. To support such weight, the hall relies on numerous sturdy pillars.

Inside, the mood shifts with each gallery: stone carvings that whisper of old dynasties, delicate wood carvings that show the hands of careful craftsmen, and showcases of cast bronze, jade, and ceramics that feel both local and far-reaching in influence. The real showstopper is on the sixth floor, where a colossal bronze Buddha stands as a silent giant. We’re told the statue weighs 500 tons and reaches around 30 meters in height, a feat supported by a forest of pillars that speak to the building’s impressive engineering. The whole place was funded by a Taiwanese businessman, and much of the exhibits celebrate folk art from Taiwan and Fujian, giving the巡
