Lushan Giant Buddha is called Changchun Giant Buddha because it is mainly dedicated to Sakyamuni Buddha, and the Buddha statue is tall, so it is called Changchun Giant Buddha Temple.
Changchun Giant Buddha Temple, located at No.1 Hubin Street, Nanhu Road, Changchun City, was built in the 12th year of Guangxu in Qing Dynasty (1886). Because it mainly worships Sakyamuni Buddha, the Buddha statue is tall, so it is called "Big Buddha Temple". In 1935, in order to build the Red Cross Society in this temple site, the Puppet Manchuria government moved the Great Buddha Temple to its present site, covering an area of 8, square meters. The Great Buddha Temple is still the lower house of prajna temple and the only Buddhist temple in Chaoyang District of Changchun.
The Great Buddha Temple is built on the mountain. Because it is located in a narrow valley bend, there are bells ringing and the peaks protecting the green forest. The temple is far from knowing the way, and the peak returns to the door suddenly. The temple is surrounded by mountains on three sides and a high wall on one side. There are seven buildings and 2 rooms with a building area of 523.6 square meters. The Maitreya Hall stands on the Lotus Peak, and the Longhua Dharma Hall is located in the Dojo. The nigume relic Dharma Hall treasures the real treasure of Buddha Sakyamuni, followed by the Tianwang Hall, the Dizang Hall, the Guanyin Hall, the Daxiong Hall and the Maitreya Pavilion of Thousand Buddhas.
