How about the open-air Guan Gong statue in Yuncheng, Shanxi?

I believe that everyone is familiar with the Leshan Giant Buddha in Sichuan. The Leshan Giant Buddha has been mentioned many times in primary school textbooks. It is known as "the largest stone sculpture in China". It can be called a historical miracle and is also a national 5A-level scenic spot. His majestic body is leaning against the mountain behind him, solemn and solemn. The Buddha's head is as high as the top of the mountain, and the clear river is in front of him. It can be said that there is a good Feng Shui with mountains and water.

It is not intuitive to describe how big the Leshan Giant Buddha is. It may be more appropriate to use such a metaphor to explain. That is, hundreds of people can stand on the feet of the Buddha. Moreover, in order to protect the Buddha statue from rain erosion, the designer also designed multiple drainage ditches in the dark, which are hidden in the folds of the Buddha statue's clothes and cannot be seen from a distance. Such exquisite craftsmanship has allowed this giant Buddha to stand from the Tang Dynasty to the present day, and its appearance has not changed much. In addition, there is a large modern statue that can be compared with the Leshan Giant Buddha. That is this one in Yuncheng, Shanxi

This 80-meter-high Guan Gong statue is located in the southwest of Yuncheng, and its human body part can reach 61 meters. The meaning of this 61 meters is extraordinary, referring to the fact that Guan Gong lived for 61 years. Currently, this statue is still the largest statue of Guandi in the world.

It is such a statue that vividly depicts the majesty and heroism of Guan Gong. Just under the statue, we can feel the solemn atmosphere and the power of the king. The casting of the entire statue cost a lot of money. Starting from the casting in 2007, the total investment was as high as 200 million yuan, and even 500 tons of copper were used. Modern technology has made the sculpture of the bronze statue more detailed. Compared with the design wisdom of the Leshan Giant Buddha, the Guan Gong statue relies more on modern technology. Compared with the Guan Gong statue, the surrounding mountains seem to be much inferior. It is said that Yuncheng also holds sacrifices at the Guan Gong Temple every year. Tourists can choose to watch it to experience the unique history and culture of Yuncheng, Shanxi, and feel the majestic appearance of Guan Gong and his ambition to conquer mountains and rivers.
