Imagine everything is not big, and in a short time, I came to the Buddha Statue Park by the Mekong River, which is the Buddha Statue Sculpture Park. The ancient park was built in 1985 and inspired by a creative monk. The most distinctive statues in the park are the "Big Pumpkin" sculpture and the giant half-lying Buddha statue. The park is also a few big basketball courts, the statues are very dense, the size of statues are scattered. Once inside the park gate is the "Big Pumpkin" sculpture, which is divided into three layers called heaven, earth and hell. Inside, there are upright ladders to climb the trapezoidal roof terrace. The first opportunity to push the roof is also an experience. The roof is very steep, bold enough to walk around the roof. I sat on it and saw the landscape of the whole garden. When you go downstairs, you can see the heaven, earth and hell inside "Big Pumpkin" from every window. There are different clay sculptures in the three-storey building with "Big Pumpkin" core reflecting the heaven, the world and hell. When you visit from the Hell window, a black arm stretches out to frighten me. It is also a clay sculpture. Seeing monks in orange costumes come to visit the garden, the country's religious belief is Hinayana Buddhism.

    Vientiane Xiangkun Temple (Wanfo Park), Laos must check in attractions. "Net Red" nine-story Buddha Pagoda, six reincarnations, the longest reclining Buddha, Monkey Mouth Hell Tower, Shiva Statue (handheld mistakenly killed children), etc., many of them have introduced some Buddhist stories, legends and other content in Hinduism, made statues, in most Buddhist places, It is extremely rare to see. Behind each Buddha statue there is a mysterious legend, although it is made of steel and cement, but the same meticulous beauty, especially some facial expressions and limb movements, are closely related to the storyline.

    About 35 minutes away from the city and it was very underwhelming. Tours are expensive so we rented a scooter and rode there. It’s nice to kill time but not worth it in your.

    The city of Vientiane in Laos is not big, it is a third- and fourth-tier city in our country. But the Buddha Park on the banks of the Mekong River is very distinctive. The antique-looking park, actually built in the age and not long ago, was built in 1985 and is said to be inspired by a creative monk.
