Buddha Park, Vientiane

The first exhibit in Buddha Park
The sights in Vientiane were very limited. Aside from seeing the Presidential Palace, the Stupa, the Historical Museum and the Victory Monument, there was one other spot to see and it was about 25 KM outside of the city.

Inside the mouth are the 3 levels of life: Heaven, life on Earth and Hell.  It was very eery.
Buddha Park.

Which level do you think this is?
Buddha Park was not created all that long ago but it's actually a park, filled to the brim, with old rock Buddha statues, in all shapes and sizes.  In fact, looking at the park and the statues within the walls, it seems like the person who created it decided to choose all the random, off the wall, Buddha statues to display.  There is honestly no rhyme or reason behind which ones were chosen but they all seem to come together to create a very interesting sight to see.

Statues are everywhere



I really enjoyed Buddha Park.  Despite the park having no thought about which statue was where, I really thought all the statues were so neat and unlike any we had seen thus far.
