At the foot of Mohe Guanyin Mountain lies the famous Yan Zhi Gully, with a small stream flowing gently downhill, symbolizing the northward flow of water to the south. Here, the 10.8-meter-tall original statue of the Arctic Forest Sea Guanyin faces south, while the 108-meter-tall sea Guanyin statue on Hainan’s Nanshan Island faces north—both statues gaze toward each other across the north and south, forming a spiritually significant pair and becoming a must-visit pilgrimage site for many travelers.
The statue of the Forest Sea Guanyin was originally built and enshrined in October 2000 at the center of Guangming Square in the Nanshan Buddhist Cultural Park on Hainan Island. Later, through negotiations between Mohe County and the Nanshan Tourism Company, the original Nanshan sea Guanyin statue was relocated north to Mohe. On September 22, 2006, the original Nanshan sea Guanyin statue was installed on Guanyin Mountain at China’s northernmost point. This is a triad of unified Guanyin statues, with each Guanyin holding different sacred objects, representing various incarnations of the Bodhisattva and reflecting the diverse ways she brings salvation to all beings.
