The sheer size is impressive. The head is almost seven meters long.

There are other large statues in the temple that you can and should admire on your walk around it.

The temple is home to the largest wooden Buddha in the world. The statue was built in 1250 and burned down twice. It had to be rebuilt for the last time in 1708 and is now only two-thirds the width of the original Buddha. It is 14.98 m high.
