The biggest statue of great Buddha in Vietnam shows him in nirvana. The
monument length is 49 metres as a symbol of 49 stages on the way to
self-knowledge, its height of 11 metres symbolizes 11 buddhism levels.
This statue was being constructed from 1962 till 1965 with belivers'
help, on their means. On the way to Buddha travellers can visit a
temple, monks' dwellings, several other statues and sacred graves of
great Buddhists.
An electrical bus will bring you to a funicular.
Views are fantastic!
However it is not the end of our way to Buddha. Before reaching him you
will go by several stairs, temples, graves and chewing and playing
cards with Vietnameses.
Snowflakes of basil.
A tree-shark.
Vietnameses like to decorate their houses with such trees.
A fountain.
Somebody comes here to pray and everybody burns little sticks.
Oh, no, it is not our mark yet. This statue is smaller.
Vietnameses like to be photographed.
It looks like a Soviet trip: vodka, cards and songs with guitars.
Multicolored ribbons from different litter.
Here he is at last! Enjoy!
The stone garden.
Buddha sleeps like an angel.
