Hi Andy,
This is truly impressive, I like this...is that real gold leaf on the monuments?:eek::cool:

Well, they supposedly were made in 1663 and are the largest antique statues currently in the Guangdong province. They're 6m tall and weights 10 tons each. And yes, they are covered with real gold leaf :)
