The cost of Nanhai Guanyin is 800 million yuan. It was accused of wasting money. What about now?

"The world is bustling, all for profit; In this impetuous society, most people are trying to survive and rush for a better life. Personal vision and behavior are often full of more selfish interests and limitations, and they are often full of doubts and doubts about many things. The cost of "Nanhai Guanyin" is 800 million, which is completed in such numerous doubts. However, time is always the best proof, but now it has received rave reviews and was once accused of wasting money.

Speaking of "Nanhai Guanyin", people who have been to Sanya should be familiar with it. The sea Guanyin, which is108m high, is even higher than the Statue of Liberty, which is very familiar to everyone15m. It can be said to be the highest and largest white Guanyin statue in the world. The whole Guanyin statue is made of titanium alloy. Facing such a concrete and iconic Guanyin statue, people will remember it more deeply than those who have been there. After all, before the completion of Guanyin in the South China Sea, Lingshan Buddha was the first Buddhism, and after its completion, it can be said that countless tourists enjoyed the tropical customs while blowing sea breeze and drinking coconuts, which was a very unique experience.

So why build Guanyin statue in Sanya? We have to talk about the Buddhist culture since ancient times. As long as people live in this land, they will have their own ideas and hopes. In this beautiful vision, various beliefs and cultures were born. Buddhism spread from ancient India to Middle Earth in the early years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and was deeply sought after and loved by our people. With the development and historical origin of Buddhism, there is a story of "wishing to live in the South China Sea" circulating in Hainan. Legend has it that Guanyin Dojo is located in the South China Sea, where plague gods often haunt, resulting in poverty and backwardness of Hainan people. Merciful and kind Guanyin wakes up here. In order to make Hainan people live and work in peace and contentment, she made a big wish to benefit Hainan. It is in this historical background that Guanyin and Hainan have forged an indissoluble bond.

As the leading tourist province in China, with the improvement of people's quality of life, more and more people have higher requirements for tourism. At that time, in order to further attract tourists, Hainan combined with its own history and culture. After many discussions, the senior officials at that time decided to build a tourist attraction from the aspect of religious belief, and then after many textual researches and investigations, Sanya, a city with a certain Buddhist cultural heritage, was selected. Then 1933 confirmed the scheme, and the construction scale and design were reviewed in the second year. After repeated research, demonstration, revision and perfection, the three-sided modeling design was finalized for dozens of times, thus determining the Guanyin on the Nanhai Mountain at 108 meters.

Then, from 1993, the scheme was finalized and finally completed in 2005, and Guanyin Mountain in Nanhai was truly presented to the world. The historical process of 12 cost 800 million yuan, which was a huge project at that time and now. Therefore, the establishment of Guanyin statue was questioned. In the eyes of many people, such a huge sum of money was only spent on a Buddha statue.

Now the Guanyin statue has been completed 15 years. Is this questioned Guanyin image really a waste as people thought at that time? Real time is just the opposite. With its special location and its own cultural representatives, countless tourists come here. At first, it may be just to pay tribute to the uniqueness of this first "Guanyin". After all, its own controversy has made countless tourists very curious, and they always hope to get a glimpse of the truth. But with the passage of time, "Nanshan Guanyin on the Sea" began to spread its unique charm. For countless people who believe in Buddhism or not, Guanyin itself is the representative of compassion. It is an image that brings people happiness and well-being, and with countless people coming here, the peace brought to Hainan itself and Guanyin complement each other, making people's hearts more satisfied and comforted.

In order to better integrate Nanshan Sea Guanyin with Sanya, Hainan, and truly substitute Buddhist culture, in 2005, the Chinese Buddhist Association and Sanya Nanshan Temple jointly held an opening ceremony. At that time, famous monks from both sides of the Taiwan Strait were invited to participate in the spectacular scene where 108 monks gathered together and nearly 10,000 believers attended the opening ceremony, which is undoubtedly another chapter worth writing in the history of Buddhism in China. After the opening ceremony of Guanyin in Haishan, South China Sea, countless believers witnessed the historic moment, and countless people witnessed the legendary Guanyin coming into reality. It used to be just a word-of-mouth story. With the completion of Nanshan Guanyin, these stories will always accompany this Guanyin.

Travel-stained people can hear bursts of bells at the door when they arrive at Nanshan. In this way, China walked step by step towards the Guanyin statue in the bell. In this blue sea and blue sky, the endless sight is refreshing. Standing at the foot of the majestic Guanyin, bathed in merciful eyes and the sea breeze blowing, it seems that the heart can also get greater redemption and peace, and the three statues are integrated. Let visitors look at it from any angle, but Guanyin holds different objects in different directions, such as beads, lotus flowers, or reeds. Different objects have different meanings. They can walk and see the Guanyin statue, and finally reach the lotus throne. Countless tourists touch the Guanyin statue, or pray for peace, or pray for future generations, or pray for wealth. In short, in this magnificent Guanyin.

In this way, Nanshan Guanyin statue and Sanya, Hainan, slowly merged together and polished with time. What people see is no longer just the cost of 800 million yuan, but the taste of money. On such a southern mountain, people's beliefs stand tall, bringing the favor of countless tourists to the local people. Under such a virtuous circle, Nanshan Guanyin not only quickly became a famous scenic spot in Hainan, but also brought great changes to the local economy and had a more unique impact on human history. At least when it comes to Hainan, there are not only coconuts, but also sea breeze, Guanyin in Nanshan and countless stories handed down in history.

Mr. Lu Xun said: "There is no road in the world. If there are more people walking, it will become a road." When people question whether the construction of Nanshan Guanyin is worthwhile, they may see more the funds and resources it needed at that time, as well as the difficulties of the event itself, which has too much uncertainty about the far-reaching significance and influence of the follow-up. We can't say that they are wrong, because we are now because of the witness of time.

No one can be sure that one thing must be right. It is Nanshan Guanyin that has brought visible changes to Hainan. On Nanshan Sea, Guanyin is the largest Guanyin statue in the world, and Nanshan Guanyin in Sanya has become a world-class Buddhist resort. When it was formed, it also made people change from bad reviews to rave reviews and recognized the value of doing it at that time. I believe that in the future, Nanshan Guanyin will be given with the development of Sanya.
