CHONGQING (CQNEWS) -- The Maintenance Project of Tongnan Golden Buddha in Chongqing, set up by the State Administration of Cultural Heritage, was completed on November 25, 2012 after more than two years of hard work. Now the 1152-year-old Buddha is clad in gold for the fifth time, nearly 100 years having passed by since its last gilt. The picture shows its reopening to the public after the maintenance.
