It is the second tallest of its kind in Asia and, together with the Cristo Redentor in Rio de Janeiro, the sixth tallest in the world. It has become a new landmark in the city of Manado.
description
The statue stands on private land on top of CitraLand's estate. If you add the 20-meter-high steel platform , the monument reaches a height of 50 meters. It consists of 25 tons of steel wire ("metal fiber") and 35 tons of steel. The statue leans forward 20 degrees, which is why it is sometimes called the "first and largest flying statue in the world".

The construction time was almost three years. The construction was carried out by Yogjakarta Engineer. The cost was five billion rupees (about $ 540,000).
