Here are the key details about the walk:
The Path: The walkway is lined with over 500 life-sized golden Arhat statues (not the 10,000 Buddhas themselves, which are located in the main temple at the top).
Duration: The climb typically takes about 20–25 minutes, depending on your pace and how often you stop to look at the statues.
Upper Level: An additional 69 steps lead from the lower level to the upper terrace of the monastery.
