Statue of the goddess Guanyin

Not far from the city of Sanya there is a tourism zone "Nanshan", on the territory of which monuments of Buddhist culture are collected. Among them is one of the tallest statues in the world, a sculpture of the goddess Guanyin.

The majestic statue of the goddess is located on an artificially created island, where a beautifully decorated road leads. Tourists from all over the world come to see the three-faced deity. One face of Guanyin is looking at us with a book in his hand, the second face is a rosary, the third is a lotus flower.

The height of the statue is 108 meters, the number of beads in the rosary is also 108 - according to feng shui this is a sacred number, it is considered by the Chinese very favorable. Even the number of monks attending the opening of the monument in 2005 was 108.

The statue of the goddess Guanyin is the personification of peace, wisdom and mercy. Her name means “looking at the suffering of the world.” They usually come here to pray for their children. In front of the statue there is a special place where you can put three aromatic sticks (similar to Orthodox candles) and ask the goddess for the fulfillment of wishes.
