- The Stairs: To reach the giant Buddha statue, you need to climb 193 steps. It’s a good workout, but there are resting spots along the way, including a stop at the reclining Buddha statue.
- Scams: Be careful of “fake monks” or people offering you incense or fans for “free” and then asking for a lot of money. Just say “No, thank you” and walk past them.
- Dress Code: Wear respectful clothing that covers your shoulders and knees if you plan to enter the main temple hall.
