台灣最大的佛教寺佔地5個山丘30公頃，被認為是南部佛教的中心。該教派由星雲創立於1967年，旨在弘揚人文佛教，並以其在中國佛教現代化的貢獻而聞名。
大佛城包括一個巨大的立佛，周圍有數百個較小的佛像。
佛光山寺旁是佛陀紀念館。這座龐大的建築群沿着一條林蔭大道對稱地排列着8個塔，佛塔的盡頭是一個正殿和一個巨型釋迦牟尼佛。大殿裏有多個神殿和幾個佛教文物廊和手工藝廊。
Covering 5 hills and 30 hectares, Taiwan’s largest Buddhist monastery is considered as the centre of Buddhism in the south. Founded in 1967 by Hsing Yun, the order promotes Humanistic Buddhism and is known for its efforts in the modernization of Chinese Buddhism.
The Great Buddha Land consists of a giant standing Buddha surrounded by hundreds of smaller images.
Adjacent to the monastery is the Buddha Museum, a massive complex with 8 pagodas symmetrically arranged along a boulevard, at the end of which is a main hall and a giant Shakyamuni Buddha. The main hall has multiple shrines and several galleries of Buddhist relics and artefacts.
