About Kun Iam Ecumenical Centre

A 20-metre bronze statue of Kun Iam (Guanyin), the Goddess of Mercy, stands on a lotus-shaped base on an artificial island in the Outer Harbour and was unveiled in 1999. Locals call it simply the Kun Iam statue. The domed base holds an ecumenical centre with information on Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism, and a shop selling publications of the Cultural Affairs Bureau.
