Takeaway:

During the construction process, the construction team applied modern engineering technology, and conducted strict calculations and tests on the selection of materials, structural stability, and wind and earthquake resistance. The design of the Vajra Throne and Lotus Throne under the Guanyin Statue provides a solid supporting structure, which can effectively distribute the weight and resist the impact of sea breezes and tides.
