• 1 review

On the other side of the Japanese bridge stands a large golden Buddha. You can reach it by road by tuk-tuk or scooter. The most courageous will park at the bottom and climb the 250 steps to the top. The interest of the site is its spectacular view on Paksé and the Mekong River. There is a peaceful atmosphere, conducive to meditation.
