3月31日，在重庆市大足区宝顶山千手观音造像修复工程现场，工作人员为造像表面刷封护剂。封护剂就像“护肤霜”，能够对千手观音的“皮肤”起到很好的保护作用，也有利于今后对造像表面的清洁。目前，重庆大足千手观音造像修复工程的石质、彩绘和贴金等主体修复均已完成，修复工程进入最后的“护肤”阶段。按照计划，修复后的千手观音造像将于2015年6月正式竣工，与游客见面。
Workers restore a sculpture of Qianshou Guanyin (bodhisattva with a thousand hands) on Mount Baoding in Dazu District in the municipality of Chongqing, southwest China, March 31, 2015. The sculpture with gold foil, carved in the cave 7.7 meters high and 12.5 meters wide, could date back to Southern Song Dynasty (1127 to 1279). The restoration work has entered the final phase and is supposed to be finished in June this year, after which the sculpture will be reopened to public. (Xinhua/Luo Guojia)
