Nepalese Peace Pagoda

A nice change in the middle of a crowded city. A peaceful quiet little corner surrounded by a little bit of vegetation and lots of skinny tall bamboo sticks. Right on the edge of the river. Great place to relax and clear your mind for a few minutes while you're enjoying the view of the Brisbane River.

A beautiful construction that was installed as a demonstration of Nepalese heritage in the Expo of 1988. Built over 2 years by 160 craftsman from the Kathmandu valley using native Terai Forrest timber. Amazing structure. Well worth the visit.

This is such a pretty little space and beautiful to see all lit up during the evening. Of course if you enjoy this type of thing 👍

It was a Friday evening in early June, so visiting the Nepalese Peace Pagoda on a fresh, crisp night was a pleasant experience. There were tourists snapping low quality photos for their Snapchat peers, which, displeased me, as an iconic structure such as this deserves much more glow up. My close friend and I quickly impressed the locals with superior camera work, and following a brief VSCO edit, our images popped off, straight to Instagram level quality. Anyway, we didn't know a whole lot about the meaning behind this monument, and didn't read into it as we were keen to walk across to Gyg to consume some takeaway burritos for a cheeky dinner. I would recommend coming here and reading into the history, do what I couldn't.
