Laos Travel_Wat Xieng Kwang, Buddha Park

#Let's go on a trip Wat Xieng Khuan (Buddha Park) is a Buddhist sculpture park in Vientiane, Laos. The park features over 200 sculptures, including Buddhist and Hindu deities such as Buddha, Shiva, and Vishnu, a 40m-tall reclining Buddha, a three-tiered pumpkin pagoda (or stupa) symbolizing hell, earth, and heaven, a three-headed elephant (Indra, the guardian deity of Buddhism), and a seven-headed snake (Naga). The sculptures are all made of reinforced concrete, and they caricature the antics of humans, gods, animals, and demons. The three-tiered pumpkin pagoda, the main building, has Buddhist stories carved inside, and from the outdoor rooftop, you can view the entire park, which is made of the sarira tree, a symbol of Buddhism. #Laos #Travel #Overseas travel #Hot place
