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.
