A staff member works during a restoration for a sculpture of Qianshou Guanyin (bodhisattva with a thousand hands) on Mount Baoding in Dazu district in the municipality of Chongqing, southwest China, May 7, 2014. The sculpture, carved in the cave with 7.7 meters high and 12.5 meters wide, could date back to Southern Song Dynasty (1127 to 1279). Over the centuries, the sculpture's color has faded, parts of the gold foil covering have peeled off, and cracks have appeared. And thus, a restoration project for the Buddhist statue has been launched since April 18, 2011 and is expected to be completed in 2015. [Photo/Xinhua]
