One of the first attraction we visited was the Reclining Buddha. That was truly an unforgettable experience. Seeing its enormous size at 46 meters long and intricate details up close left me in awe. The peaceful atmosphere surrounding the temple made the visit even more meaningful, reminding me to pause, appreciate the beauty of history, and embrace a moment of quiet reflection.
The weather was incredibly hot, hotter than the Philippines. Walking around under the sun was definitely a challenge. But still every step was worth it because the magnificence of the Reclining Buddha made me forget the heat for a while. It's one of those places that leaves a lasting impression and makes you grateful for the opportunity to witness such an incredible cultural and spiritual landmark.
