"Few statues anywhere in the world have such a powerful pull on the imagination as the Giant Buddha gazing serenely on the Po Lin (Precious Lotus) Monastery from its hillside site at Ngong Ping on Lantau Island. The majestic figure of the seated Buddha is 34 metres high, was cast in China and took 10 years to complete. Weighing 220 tons, it was unveiled in 1993 amid deep religious ceremonies." ~Tiantau Buddha, Lantau Island, Hong Kong
