The Guanyin
of
Nanshan
is
a
108-metre
(354 ft)
statue
of
the bodhisattva Guanyin,
sited
on
the
south
coast
of
China's
island
province Hainan near
the Nanshan
Temple of Sanya. The
statue
has
three
aspects:
one
side
faces
inland
and
the
other
two
face
the South
China
Sea,
to
represent
blessing
and
protection
by
Guanyin
of
China
and
the
whole
world.
One
aspect
depicts
Guanyin
cradling
a
sutra
in
the
left
hand
and
gesturing
the Vitaraka
Mudra with
the
right;
the
second
with
her
palms
crossed,
holding
a
string
of prayer
beads;
and
the
third
holding
a
lotus.
As
of
2018,
this
was
the twelfth
tallest
statue
in
the
world
