The Mengshan Giant Buddha (Chinese: 蒙山大佛) is a stone statue located in Taiyuan, built during the Northern Qi dynasty. Initially discovered in a 1980 census, the statue was found to have its head missing. From 2006 to 2008, people constructed a 12-meter tall head for the statue. The site opened to the public in October 2008.
