You can pretty much get a 360 degree view if you go onto both parts East & West of this huge bare rock on which the Pagoda is placed. But for those who suffer fr...

😐 My main complaint about this one is it seems a little too commercial for my tastes. I am not so fond of Wats that seem to be in business instead of being focused on Buddhism.
