Detailed Description

Moli is surrounded by mountains on three sides, inside which stands a golden Dai-style pagoda pavilion. Inside is a stone called Tunluo Stone, on the slanted rock wall of which is embedded a giant "footprint" with clearly distinguishable toes and sole. This is the famous Buddha's footprint revered in the Buddhist communities of South Asia and Southeast Asia. The footprint is 96 centimeters long, 43 centimeters wide at the forefoot, 33 centimeters wide at the arch, and 52 centimeters wide at the heel. Not far behind the pavilion is the Great Buddha Temple, which attracts a continuous stream of pilgrims during Buddhist festivals.
