This is the Guan Yu Statue Complex | Jingzhou, China
It’s 58 metres (190ft) tall, weighs over 1,320 tonnes, and it contains over 4,000 strips of bronze. The monument is so big that there’s even an 8,000 sq.m museum inside of it. Guan Yu lived during China’s turbulent Three Kingdoms period. He carried an axe-like weapon called a Green Dragon Crescent Blade, which has been immortalized with him as part of the statue. The only difference is that the weapon now weighs 136 tonnes!
Guan Yu was fabled as being a man "worth 10,000 men". His deeds in the 14th century novel The Romance of the Three Kingdoms is now more famous than his real-life deeds. He was a capable warrior and general, as he personally slew Yan Liang in combat, and served well for many years under Liu Bei's command.
