Does anyone know that there is a temple in Suzhou with a giant Buddha sitting on the hill? Not Lingshan Buddha

Chongyuan Temple was founded in the second year of Tian Jian, Liang Wudi (AD 503), and it was contemporary with Hanshan Temple, Lingyan Temple and Baosheng Temple. Liang Wudi Xiao Yan ruled the country with Buddhism. For a time, the upward trend was effective and the whole country worshipped Buddha. One evening, an official living in Erli, northwest of Changzhou County, had a whim when he saw the auspicious clouds overlapping over the official residence. He immediately called Liang Wudi and offered to give up his official residence and rebuild a temple in its place, and named it "Chongyun". The restored Chongyuan Temple is located in Lianhua Road, Yangcheng Peninsula, Weiting Town, Suzhou Industrial Park. Suzhou Chongyuan Temple is the highest water Guanyin Pavilion in China-the elegant Guanyin Pavilion with a height of 46 meters stands in the center of Yangcheng Lake where the lotus is in full bloom, the highest indoor Guanyin statue in China-the 33-meter Guanyin statue looks down on all living beings, and the heaviest indoor Guanyin statue in China-the first Sanskrit clock in the Tang Dynasty was cast by 80 tons of bronze gilding technology-with a height of 2. 19 meters. The ethereal bell circled the beam for three days. The heaviest bronze bell in China-the largest copper-cavity leather drum in China, weighing 10 ton-the most vivid and complete island Guanyin sculpture group in China, with a diameter of 2. 19 meter-a large-scale color sculpture, creating a vivid realm of Hua Yan's entry into the law-the highest hall in China-the majestic hall of 38 meters-the largest hall in China-260. Sitting in Chongyuan Temple, the first all-round Guanyin Xingyang Water Pavilion planned and built at one time in China, a pot of copper water simultaneously cast a 33-meter grand view audio-visual image and a 33-cm small Guanyin image.
