When was the Hongguangshan Buddha gilded?

In the mid-1980s. The gold-plated time of Hongguangshan Giant Buddha was in the mid-1980s. At that time, cracks began to appear on the surface of Hongguangshan Buddha, which needed to be repaired and protected. In order to better protect the giant Buddha and improve its aesthetic level, the surface of the giant Buddha was decorated with gold and silver. The process of subsidizing gold is very difficult, and it takes a lot of time and manpower, but this huge project is finally completed.
