This giant Bud­dha is the largest stat­ue in the world … by a lot! At 128 meters high, the oth­er famous stat­ues seem tiny; the Stat­ue of Lib­er­ty is not even half the size, and Christ the Redeemer does not even exceed its pedestal. As you can imag­ine, this Bud­dha is not a feath­er­weight: 1000 tons, no more, no less! To see this cop­per giant sim­ply go to the Chi­nese province of Henan and you can enjoy the beau­ti­ful hot springs in the region as well.
