500 Statues of Rakan

Inside the grounds of Kitain Temple, these statues were made over a 50-year period beginning in 1782. There are 538 stone images of the Buddha, each with a slightly different expression of great humanity, making visitors feel a sense of closeness, as if the Buddha could be someone they know.

Access
