 ◆ World's First Temple With Jade Buddha Built in China

The world's first Buddhist temple with all of its figures carved from jade has been unveiled in China.

Some jade works weigh up to 30 tons and stand two-story high among more than 10,000 works at a jade theme park which opened in east China's Zhejiang province this month.

Located in Dayin Township in the port city of Ningbo, the park covers 166 hectares and is divided into six parts, including an exhibition area for sculptures, pavilions and jade products.

The park, which cost 650 million yuan (80 million U.S. dollars), attracted 150,000 visitors during its construction period.
