This massive Buddha statue measuring 5.5 tons is made from solid gold since the 14th Century. It is so valuable that it has to be covered with a layer of plaster and concrete to hide its real value during the time of war
Renown to be the busiest area in the city, Chinatown has everything a person needs all in one place. Take a walk in the old market and explore fascinating products from shophouses to street food carts.
