A cool place to wander about and see cool sculptures. It seemed like there wasn't much going on the particular day I went. No services were happening and most folks were staying out of the heat. I took a stroll ad took photos of the various sculptures. Spent maybe 20 minutes. A fun quick thing to do if visiting Stockton
Very small place with lots of Buddhist statues. They're all very pretty and kept up nice. Entry is free. It would have been a lot better if they had the placards in english also. So I could learn about each statue and their meaning. The ones that were fountains didn't have water. This is a self guided tour that takes 15-20 minutes. There were no staff when i was there. It was very empty with no other visitors. The place is located in the middle of a home area. The GPS is right. It does take you to the wrong entrance though, just follow the signs that lead you to the right one; it's very close from the other. There are public bathrooms. Also has a turtle pond.

An absolutely beautiful Buddhist temple in Stockton. This Khmer Buddhist Temple has many large gathering but is open to the public at regular business hours as well. They have a large amount of land and many things to see. Plan on staying atleast half hour to an hour. Donations accepted. Home of the largest Buddha in California. Great place to visit from out of town.
Very cool hidden gem. Like literally hidden in a neighborhood. We thought we were going the wrong way until we saw the stunning wall and gates. Lots of beautiful statues and the giant Buddha was really cool to see in-person. There’s a big parking lot, public bathroom, and of course the temple. We saw a monk and a cute cat followed us around. Maybe took a little over 20 minutes to walk around it all, but we stopped a lot to take pictures.
