East Asia in Munich's Westpark - Nepal
Yet another part of the "East Asian Ensemble" in Munich's Westpark is a Nepalese pagoda.
This was built in 1983 in Nepal by 300 handworkers over 7 months. It was the first time in about 200 years since a complete pagoda had been made using traditional methods!
The pagoda was shipped to Munich in sections from Nepal and re-assembled in the park. The carving details around the building are fascinating... but it is locked so you can't enter and look around inside.
There was, however, a poster on a window of an upcoming Thai festival that goes on the list of to-dos!
The Thai, Chinese, and Nepalese sections of the "East Asian Ensemble" are quite impressive for a public park.
The Westpark deserves a lot more attention from locals and tourists alike.
