Photo taken on May 5, 2015 shows the restored statue of Qianshou Guanyin (bodhisattva with a thousand hands) on Mount Baoding in Dazu District, Chongqing.
The statue with gold foil, carved in the cave with 7.7 meters high and 12.5 meters wide, could date back to Southern Song Dynasty (1127 to 1279). The restoration work has been completed and accepted by experts from administration of cultural heritage, colleges and academies on May 6.
The statue will be reopened to public on June 13, which is also the Chinese "Cultural Heritage Day".
