Have you had a look at the Yun gang shi ku in china near Shan xi? The caves there are very impressive with multiple multiple statues carved into the mountains.

Thanks for the impressive list! Lovely to see all these stunning statues… perhaps you’d like to compile a list of biggest indoor statues too?
Cheers

Thanks for sharing these beautiful images! Very inspiring. Not only are these images big in size, they are also big in significance. Significance on humanity and spirituality! They are gifts from our forefathers.
May more grand images be built like those displayed here and envisioned in Kechara World Peace Centre by Tsem Tulku Rinpoche!
