Nanshan Sea Goddess of Mercy

The Nanshan Sea Guanyin stands on the coast of the South China Sea in Sanya. The 108-meter integrated triple statue is the tallest in the world. The White-Robed Guanyin holding a casket, a lotus, and a pearl symbolizes wisdom, compassion, and peace, respectively. The statue stands on the Vajra Throne of the Lotus seat, forming a sacred Buddhist realm with Nanshan Temple and the blue sea and sky, integrating Tang Dynasty statues and modern art, showing the wonders of maritime Buddhist worship.

The Nanshan Sea Guanyin is a 108-meter-high Guanyin Bodhisattva statue located on the Sea Vajra Continent (Guanyin Island) in front of Nanshan Temple. The statue is an integrated triple image of the Avalokiteśvara, standing on a one-hundred-and-eight-petal lotus throne, with a dignified and majestic appearance. The Sea Guanyin is a famous Buddhist building in Sanya and a famous place for prayer and blessings. Under the lotus seat of the Sea Guanyin is the Vajra Platform, inside which is the Yuantong Treasure Hall with an area of 15,000 square meters. The Vajra Continent is connected to the land by the 280-meter-long Pujin Bridge. You can take a scenic battery car or choose to walk to reach it. The battery car stop is one stop after the Thirty-Three Guanyin Hall. If you walk, after passing Nanshan Temple, walk left past the elephant stone carvings for about 1 kilometer to reach the 108-meter Sea Guanyin.
