Photo taken on Feb. 21, 2016 shows the ancient Buddhist sculpture of the North Qi (550-557) period at Fo Guang Shan in Kaohsiung, southeast China's Taiwan. The sculpture, made of white marble, dates back to the North Qi of South and North Dynasties. It was originally worshipped in Youju Temple in Lingshou County, Hebei, where the Buddha's head was stolen in 1996. The 80 kg head was presented to Master Hsing Yun, founding abbot of Fo Guang Shan Temple in Kaohsiung, by a private collector last year. [Photo: Xinhua]
