Brahma Palace in Wuxi has been named one of the 40 most beautiful sights in China by CNN.

The gorgeous palace took two years and cost 2.6 billion yuan ($380 million) to build. It opened in 2008 for the 3rd World Buddhist Forum.

Sitting at the foot of Little Lingshan Mountain, Brahma Palace could fit nicely into a tour of Wuxi's Buddhist sights. It is not far from the 88-meter-tall Lingshan Giant Buddha.
