走遍天下XZ
The Reclining Buddha Temple is one of many temples in Vientiane, and the scale is not very large, but because it is only one way away from the famous Tayu Temple, there is a huge Reclining Buddha, so the popularity is more vigorous. Inside is a very beautiful tall sculpture, with a prince-like figure in the bow archery. There are several angles, you can take pictures of the Big Golden Pagoda of the Tayu Temple. The surrounding walls are also more distinctive, all of which are the golden towers of high-respected and noble families, which are spectacular.

This was a surprise find along the promenade behind the Presidential Palace. It tops a lovely park where you can find people picnicking under tree shades even during lunch time (I saw this during the weekend). If you enjoy statues of elephants and horses, especially, this monument is a must-see

This is a very elegant temple. The temple covers a large area, and the yard is very spacious. You can also see the residence of the monks very close. There are monks cleaning in the yard. There are also a few very lush omelet trees in the yard, which are very beautiful.
