Best time to visit
Vroeg in de ochtend bij zonsopgang is het het beste, er zijn minder toeristen en het licht is zacht, wat de mooiste uitzichten oplevert.
Budget tips
De toegangsprijs is ongeveer 5 dollar, op bepaalde dagen per maand zijn er kortingen, het is aan te raden om tickets van tevoren online te kopen om wachtrijen te vermijden.

About
Quick facts: More than 2,500 bas-relief panels meticulously record ancient life and religious stories. The entire structure is built with approximately 700,000 volcanic rocks, massive in weight yet perfectly intact.
Highlights: The main tower here is surrounded by 72 Buddha statues, creating a serene and mysterious atmosphere. At sunrise, sunlight pierces through the mist and lights up the lotus-shaped tower top, forming an unforgettable beautiful scene.
Insider tips
- Draag comfortabele schoenen, het terrein bestaat vooral uit steen en er moet geklommen worden.
- Sta vroeg op voor de zonsopgang, het uitzicht is indrukwekkender en je vermijdt de drukte.
- Neem water en zonnebrandcrème mee, de zon is sterk als je in direct licht bent.
- Neem de tijd om de reliëfpanelen te bekijken, ze zijn rijk aan details en zeker een stop waard.
