This is the Niushou Buddhist Palace which is build underground by repurposing an abandoned mine. The palace is 136,000 square meters.

The scale and grandeur is almost impossible to capture in a picture.

        Saṃsāra (Devanagari: संसार) is a Sanskrit word that means “wandering”[1][2] as well as “world,” wherein the term connotes “cyclic change”[3] or, less formally, “running around in circles.” In the context of Indian religions and philosophies, saṃsāra is the concept of all beings experiencing an ongoing cycle of death, life, and rebirth.
