Sanya Nanshan Hotel & Guanyin of Nanshan The Guanyin of Nanshan is a 108-metre 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. The statue took six years to build and was enshrined on April 24, 2005, with the participation of 108 eminent monks from various Buddhist groups in Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macao and Mainland China, and tens of thousands of pilgrims. The delegation also included monks from the Theravada and Vajrayana traditions. 一百零八米的海上觀音比自由女神還要高15米，乃世界最大的白衣觀音造像並且是世界上最高的觀音像，為鈦合金材料敬造。在南山海上觀音建成之前，高八十八米、被譽為 “神州第一大佛” 的無錫靈山大佛是最高的，而南山海上觀音像建成之後，靈山大佛的高度紀錄就被刷新。 觀音聖像一面是手持蓮花，另一面是手持經書，還有一面是手持佛珠。為正觀音的一體化三尊造型，寶相莊嚴，腳踏一百零八瓣蓮花寶座，蓮花寶座高十米，共四層，每層有形狀相同的二十七瓣蓮花， [2] 共一百零八瓣，比靈山大佛底座蓮花寶座多出二十瓣。蓮花座下為金剛寶座，金剛寶座內是面積達15000平方米的圓通寶殿。金剛寶座由長280米的普濟橋與陸岸相連，並與面積達60000平方米的觀音廣場及廣場兩側主題公園，共同組成佔地面積近30萬平方米的 “觀音淨苑” 景區。
