Tu Viện A Nan

Constructed in 2010, the Tu Viện A Nan Buddhist Temple, located in the tranquil southeast region of Gainesville, encompasses a serene forested park. Notably, the temple features a statue garden showcasing three sizable Buddhist statues from Vietnam, installed in January 2017, collectively weighing 85 tons. The picturesque grounds offer a shaded and leisurely stroll, with strategically placed steps and ledges for seating. Visitors can explore the temple's serene environment, with statues towering up to 50 feet. (Submitted by Jose Medrano)
