China's obsession over giant statues

Editor's note:  Along with the decades-long surge of China's economy in modern times, China has witnessed another rising trend, that of building ever taller statues. Some local government or organizations are getting more fanatical about building giant staues. Except the Leshan Grand Buddha and Rongxian Buddha (both in Sichuan province), China's 27 statues taller than 16 meters were built in modern times. Ten of the world's 43 statues taller than 50 meters are in China. Nine of the 10 were built since the 1990s.

Situated 160 kilometers north of Chengdu city, Southwest China's Sichuan province, the 71-meter Leshan Grand Buddha was built in AD 803 during the Tang Dynasty (AD 618-907). It is still the biggest stone-carved Buddha in the world and was included on the World Heritage List. It was the world's biggest Buddha for 1,200 years. Now, it only ranks seventh in China in terms of height. [Photo/Asianewsphoto]

The Spring Temple Buddha built in 2008 is a statue depicting Vairocana Buddha in Zhaocun township of Lushan county, Central China's Henan province. At 128 meters, which includes a 20-meter lotus throne, it is the tallest statue in the world. If the statue's 25-meter pedestal is taken into account, the monument has a total height of 153 meters. The hill on which the statue stands was reshaped to form two more pedestals. The total height of the monument is now 208 meters. It is made of 108 kilograms of gold, 3,300 kilograms of alloy-copper and 15,000 tons of special steel. [Photo/Asianewsphoto]
