Wutai's Mountain

Da Chao is a symbolic figure which resembles "Buddha" that Wutai's people hold in quite high regard. Surrounding Wutai is a large mountain range, which is adorned with various statues and figures, and so eloquently named Da Chao mountain, in his honor.

In the story when Yuffie is escaping from Cloud and the others with their materia, she is captured by Don Corneo. At the same time Elena of the Turks had also taken it upon herself to investigate reports of Don Corneo being in the area and is also captured by Don Corneo

He takes them up into the Da Chao mountains and ties them up on one of the statues of Da Chao's face. When they are rescued by the Turks and Cloud's group, Don Corneo is left hanging from a part of the statue and subsequently falls to his untimely death.
