Review & FAQ:

Xieng Khuan Park is also called Buddha Park, and it is a sculpture park located on the banks of the Mekong River about 15 miles away from Vientiane. The park was first opened in 1958 by Luang Pu Bunleua Sulilat, a priest and an artist who was forced to flee the country during the 1970s. His park still stands today, home to over 200 statues created by Sulilat and his students, all untrained artists. All of the Buddhas are completely unique, some large, some small, but all created in different styles and with different materials, and the result is absolutely surreal.
