A little more perspective

The official Yaoshan scenic-area account separates a 108-meter figure, 20-meter lotus seat, 25-meter Vajra base and 55-meter lower base. This component view adds only the figure and lotus seat, 108 + 20 = 128 meters, rather than using the full 208-meter assembly.

The lotus seat supplies the visible baseline for this bounded monument component. The large buildings and terraces beneath it are not squeezed into the same 128-meter dimension. These named components explain why very different heights can appear for the same monument.
