An enormous white Guan Yin statue on a hilltop — you can ride an elevator up to eye level for a panoramic view of Chiang Rai.
Local tip: Locals often call it 'Big Buddha' but the statue is actually Guan Yin, the goddess of mercy. Late afternoon light is best for photos. Close enough that a Grab there and back is cheap and easy.
