This is what Win Sein Taw Ya (aka Buddha Park) looks like. It has a 90-year-old unfinished reclining Buddha that is nearly 600 feet long (the largest in the world).
The statue was enormous and inside the enormous cement body was dioramas of the teachings of Buddha with captions in Burmese. It was amazing to explore the area, except when we noticed the young children were laboring on the unfinished feet. It certainly took most of the enjoyment from the experience seeing young teens working under these conditions.
