Silver Buddha, Jing'an Temple, Shanghai

When I visited Jing'an Temple, Shanghai, in August 2009, it was just being rebuilt. On a later visit at the start of 2012, although the temple was not finished, I saw this silver Buddha on the altar in the Main Hall. It's said to stand nearly 29 feet tall and weigh a whopping 15 tons. (Note the size of the people!)
