Measuring a
total of 22.43 meters in height, this detailed sand sculpture, created at the
Zhoushan Sand Sculpture Festival, in China, has been acknowledged as the
world’s tallest sand sculpture.
Officials from
the Guinness Book of Records arrived in Zhoushan, on Wednesday, September 29,
and after careful measurement, confirmed the sand masterpiece will be going into
the record books. Depicting a Nigerian story of how a hummingbird managed to
become the king of all animals, the 22.43 meter-tall sand sculpture was created
by over 30 artists, during 75 days.
This year, the
Zhoushan Sand Sculpture
Festival gave sand
artists the opportunity to express themselves on the theme of a trip to
Africa.
