The first thing that is noticed as you approach the village is a huge sculpture of a monk that rises into the air and can be seen from quite a distance. I tried to find out who is depicted by this large work of art but to no avail. If anyone knows the story behind it, please comment below. Up close and personal, it is even more spectacular. Near its base, another larger than life head is part of a small shrine. All are gilded with randomly placed small squares of gold, which I doubt are the genuine metal! In any case, it is something to see.
