Buddha Park

Laos · built 1958

Buddha Park, also known as Xieng Khuan (as well as other variations of the spelling), is a sculpture park 25 km southeast from Vientiane, Laos, in a meadow by the Mekong River. Although it is not a temple (wat), it may be referred to as Wat Xieng Khuan (Lao), since it contains numerous religious images. The name Xieng Khuan means "spirit city". The park contains over 200 Hindu and Buddhist statues. The socialist government operates Buddha Park as a tourist attraction and public park.
