Where is that one?

Sanya, Hainan Island, China. It's over 300' tall!

Thanks.

I am very cynical about that one, built in 2005.

It’s not historic.

It’s a cynical ploy by the Chinese Communists to allow it built.

They were like the Taliban, destroying as many such historical statues and other religious displays as they could.

So now they have to build the biggest Guan Yin in the world.
