Known as the largest round Buddha Pagoda in the world, it is a landmark building in Nepal and also a United Nations cultural heritage. This is the holy place of Tibetan Buddhism. We can see that the Bodahar Buddha Pagoda in front of us has a huge white dome with extraordinary momentum, which gives us a feeling of generosity. There is a square tower on the grand white bowl with huge Nepalese God eyes painted on all sides. Perhaps it is telling people that Buddhism is infinite and omnipresent. Above the Buddha's eyes is a golden spire. Under the blue sky and white clouds, the sutras hanging from the spire to the base of the tower flutter with the wind, as if they were passing the will of the mortals to the gods of heaven. These colorful Sutras were tied up when people came here to worship their wishes. The banner we call Jingbian is actually called Fengma Banner in Tibetans. These flags have five colors. Red represents fire, blue represents sky, white represents cloud, green represents water, and yellow represents land. These five colors are said to represent the five elements that make up the world. The Tibetan mantras, scriptures, Buddha statues and mascots not only have many religious meanings, but also float in the air like dazzling works of art. According to Tibetan Buddhism, "Fengma" refers to the number and channel of human Qi in a deep sense, or specifically to the five elements. Therefore, in the place where the spiritual Qi gathers, the wind horse with the desire of revering gods and praying for blessings is placed, and the wind transmission is conducive to the transmission and Realization of the desire to the gods. Although the Great Buddha Pagoda was expanded in Songzangganbu at that time, most of the inhabitants around it are from Tibet in 1959, and Nepal provided them with a place to live there. Later, some of these people went to India, and many went to other parts of the world. If we look back from the long history, as a sacred place of Tibetan Buddhism, this pagoda has really witnessed the storms and hardships experienced by this nation from the Tang Dynasty to the present. On both sides of the pagoda are Tibetan Buddhist temples and pagodas, where many religious people kowtow their heads or sit quietly and recite scriptures. In front of the prayer wheel around the Great Buddha Pagoda, the pilgrims read the Scriptures while turning the pilgrimage wheel, praying devoutly for the blessings of the gods. The outer circle of the Great Buddha Pagoda is a circular street with dense shops selling Thangka, Tibetan blankets, masks, Tibetan knives, jewelry and other Tibetan religious articles and handicrafts. On the second floor, there are many cafes, restaurants and hotels. From the window of the cafe, we can see the figures of European and American tourists. Whether in Bokala, Badgang or Kathmandu, we can see that many European and American tourists are very happy to travel, they taste the local cultural landscape in coffee. And most of our Chinese tourists are constantly rushing around to catch interesting pictures, which may reflect the differences between eastern and Western cultures.

    Bodahar Buddha Pagoda, a landmark building in Nepal, is located about 10 kilometers northeast of Kathmandu. It is the largest round Buddha Pagoda in the world and also a United Nations cultural heritage. Every February during the Tibetan New Year, Lamas hold grand ceremonies here, and thousands of followers come to worship. The golden body of the Buddha was recently donated by the followers with 20 kilograms of golden ornament. If the weather is clear, you can stand on the hill and have a panoramic view of Nepal.
