The vibe of this place? Imagine an abandoned amusement park dotted with charming Buddhist statues. It’s free to enter. I went on a Wednesday morning and it was mostly empty save a few other visitors, the occasional monk or nun, and a welder producing a lot of noise that disrupted the quiet one would expect in such a space. Walk to the back to see the several giant golden Buddhas.
What an interesting place to visit. It was super quiet and tranquil on Sunday morning. It helped that I was the only person there! Many of the plaques by each statue are bleached by the sun, and they really just tell you who is the owner(donor?) of each. Google translate camera did a pretty good job of helping with translating the signs. There is parking inside the gate so you don't have to use the street.
Amazing statues and stories in here. Also a quiet and peaceful place to breath. The main entrance was blocked but another door was open little way down the road.
It is built in a very large area. It was a peaceful and quieter place. Construction is in progress. However, it isn't a hindrance to visit.
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
