Kun Iam Ecumenical Center

#celebratewithtrip #2023travelwish #awesomepic #tripblazers #foodie #mytripvlog. Kun Iam Ecumenical Centre is located on an artificial island connected to Av. Dr. Sun Yat-sen, NAPE, by a 60-meter long causeway, the total height being 32 meters. Symbol of the Centre, Kun Iam statue is made up of approximately 50 bronze castings, weighs 50 tons and measures 20 meters high. This sculpture's face was specifically designed to show the Universality expressed in the concept of “Ecumenic” - without any distinctive ethnicity. Inaugurated on 21st March 1999, the Centre was designed and made by the Portuguese architect and sculptor Cristina Rocha Leiria, with UNESCO support, in order to promote mutual respect and friendship among all peoples and civilizations. Kun Iam, or Guan Yin in Mandarin, is a deity embodying love, mercy and compassion, and a figure that represents this message of solidarity and rapprochement between people, worshiped even beyond the scope of the Buddhist religion.
