Located on a small hill about 7 km away from Chiang Rai city center, this temple is famous for its strikingly large pure white Guan Yin statue, visible even from afar. You can take an elevator inside the statue for 40 THB. The nine-tiered pagoda, blending Lanna style with Chinese culture, can be explored via stairs. Both offer spectacular views.
