A four-kilometre garden axis where nations of the Buddhist world — Thailand, Myanmar, Germany, China, Korea and more — have each built a monastery in their own style.
The result is a world tour of Buddhist architecture on foot or bicycle: gilded Thai spires, a German stupa of murals, Chinese courtyards. End at the World Peace Pagoda as the parakeets come home.

Insider tip
Rent a bicycle at the gate — the zone is far larger than it looks, and cycling the canal path is half the joy.
