Overview: Buddha Park (aka Xieng Khuan) is a famous sculpture park with more than 200 religious statues including a huge 40-metre high reclining Buddha image. The best spot for photography here is on top of the giant pumpkin structure standing about three stories high. The entrance is crafted to look like a demon's mouth (about three meters high) with a stone ladder inside leading to a bird's eye view of the entire Xieng Kuan Park.
