The Reclining Buddha

This is the Reclining Buddha. We had a tour guide who didn't speak English very well so some of my facts are probably wrong. I believe this was built around 150 years ago and then the building was built around it. The inside of the Buddha was made of brick and cement and then covered in gold leaf.
In the background you can see the people standing near the feet. I think this is 45 meters long.

This is the original corn rows. This is the Reclining Buddha's hair.
