The height of the giant Buddha in the Temple of Heaven in Hong Kong is only 34 meters, which is less than the knees of some giant buddhas now, such as the giant Buddha with a total height of 208 meters in Lushan County, Henan Province. In the mainland, there are several Buddha statues higher than the giant Buddha in the Temple of Heaven, and the list is increasing, including an 88-meter-high Guanyin statue in Jiangsu, a 99-meter-high Buddha statue in Anhui and a 48-meter-high Amitabha statue in Jiangxi.
It is reported that the Aerospace Chenguang Co., Ltd., which built the Giant Buddha of the Temple of Heaven, has several similar projects all over the country this year.
China has a long history of Buddhist statues, which reached its peak in Sui and Tang Dynasties. However, after the founding of New China, many Buddha statues and other religious heritages were destroyed.
A Buddhist in Yangzhou, Jiangsu Province said, "I hope to see more Buddha statues. Buddha statues help to promote Buddhism. But I don't think these Buddha statues must be tens of meters high or break the world record. "
Professor Yu Xue from the Chinese University of Hong Kong said that the Hong Kong government regards the construction of the Giant Buddha as an initiative to attract tourists. "These projects take advantage of the popularity of Buddhism and are a way to promote social harmony."
