5. Emperors Yan and Huang
These big, beautiful statues are carved from the rocky face of a mountain and are found poised high above the Yellow River in Yan Huang Plaza, Zhengzhou, Henan, China. They are the tallest statues that depict a ruler or head of state, and they’re also the tallest non-Buddha statues in the world, standing at roughly 106 meters tall if you count all the way from the base of the mountain to the top of the statues. That’s a gigantic 348 feet! Construction on these impressive statues took right around fifteen years and were completed in 2007, and they depict two of China’s earliest emperors, Huang Di and Yan Di. It’s like a total Mount Rushmore, but in China, with the faces of their early emperors as our great memorial mountain shows the faces of some of our earlier, more influential Presidents. Awesome!
4. Ushiku Daibutsu
Here we are again looking at another statue of the great Buddha! He sure is popular. This one can be found in Ushiku, Ibaraki Prefecture, Japan and it was completed in 1993. It held the title of the world’s tallest statue from the time it was completed until 2002 and stands 120 meters (390 feet) tall. At the 85 meter or 279 foot mark, there’s an observation floor that an elevator takes visitors up to. The bronze statue is made in the likeness of Amitabha Buddha and is also known as Ushiku ARCADIA, which is an acronym that stands for Amida’s Radiance and Compassion Actually Developing and Illuminating Area. It was built to represent and honor Shinran, the founder of what’s sometimes known as “True Pure Land School” of Buddhism or Jodo Shinshu. It’s one of the three tallest statues on Earth as of 2018. However, in no time, like by the end of the year, it will become good old number four!
3. Laykyun Sekkya
This giant monument is also known as the Laykyun Sekkya Buddha because you see, it depicts none other than Buddha. This thing is pretty big, as it stands at 116 meters tall, which, for Americans, means that it stretches 381 feet into the sky! It’s located in Myanmar, in the village of Khatakan Taung, near Monywa. It was completed on February 21, 2008, and took twelve years to complete as construction on the big Buddha began in 1996, and was commissioned by the Chief Abbot Ven. Narada. It’s a big old statue, but it’s not the biggest, and lucky for you, the best is yet to come!
2. Spring Temple Buddha
As of 2018, this gigantic statue is the tallest statue in the world, and if you want to see it with your own eyes, you just have to travel to the Zhaocun township in Lushan County, Henan, China! Henan, China seems to have some of the biggest statues in the world, doesn’t it? This Buddha only took eleven years to complete, and it was built between 1997 and 2008. It stands a towering 128 meters (420 feet) tall, not including its 25 meter (82 foot) lotus throne! If you take that into account, the statue measures at a total height of 153 meters or 502 feet! These people really love them some Buddha! To make matters even, uh, taller, the hill that the statue stands on was reshaped to form two more pedestals in 2008, which made it reach 208 meters (682 feet) into the air! In the future, who knows, they could decide to somehow make it even taller! Beneath the statue sits a Buddhist monastery, and the entire project cost $55 million, $18 million of which went toward the statue itself. That’s one pricey piece of art!
