‘Lady Buddha in the Monkey Mountains‘

On top of the the Sơn Trà Peninsula in the Monkey Mountains of Da Nang, Vietnam is the giant statue of the Lady Buddha (the Goddess of Mercy), which stands at 67 metres. This statue was completed in 2010, and took 6 years to construct.

It can be seen for across the coast, and is illuminated by night.

It should be noted that even though it is advertised as being part of the Marble Mountains, it really isn’t.
