The statue is situated on top of a hill overlooking the city of Timphu, it can be accessed by road and is about 15 minutes away from the city鈥焥 center.

The statute will house a temple inside it, the statue and its adjoining car park and recreational center are currently under construction and is expected to be ready by December 2012. The statue is constructed out of bronze and is studded with many semi-precious stones. Since they are no factories in country that can make such a large bronze cast structure, statute is being manufactured in China and the pieces are brought to听Bhutan听and are assembled here. On the drive to the statue the steep winding hill road offers an unparalleled view of the city of听Thimphu听and is an excellent place to capture a view of the city especially after dark. A journalist once described the view as 鈥渟eeing an osasis of light in the desert of darkness 鈥渁s the city light of听Thimphu听shine very bright in an otherwise dark听Thimphu听valley.
  
  Motithang Takin preserve:听The Motithang Takin Preserve also known as the听Thimphu听Zoo by many is a small natural preserve for the Takin听Bhutan鈥焥 national animal. It was originally a mini zoo, but it was converted in a preserve later on as the Takin. The mini zoo contained a small number of Takin but the King of听Bhutan听later decreed that it was improper for a Buddhist nation to keep an animal in captivity. The animals were set free and the zoo was shut down, but for some reason the Takin refused to leave the area for the forests nearby. Instead the animals were frequesntly found roaming around the streets of the capital city in search for food. As a result the government decided to demarcate an 8 acre fenced location as the Motithang Takin Preserve. The preserve is a forested preserve that mimics the Takin鈥焥 natural habitat, in addition to the Takin there are a few musk deer and barking deer that live inside the preserve. There are plans to expand the preserves collection to include other rarely seen animals that live in听Bhutan, currently the preserve plans to add the Red Panda and the Himalayan Serow to the preserve.
  
  Later in the evening you can visit听Tashichho Dzong:听The Tashichho Dzong is a Buddhist monastery cum fortress at the northern edge of Thimpu the capital city of听Bhutan. The Dzong was built on the western bank of the river Wang Chu, and has historically served at the seat of the Druk Desi or the Dharma Raja of听Bhutan鈥焥 government. After the kings assumed power in 1907 this post was combined with that of the king and听Thimphu听severed as the summer caital of the kingdom before becoming the full time capital of听Bhutan. The original听Thimphu听Dzong (the Dho-Ngyen Dzong) is said to have been constructed in 1216 by Lama Gyalwa Lhanangpa. And was later taken over by Lama Phajo Drukgom Shigpo before the Dzong was conquered by Shabdrung Ngawang Namgyal, who found the Dzong to be too small and expanded it to what is now known as theTashichho dzong is also called the "fortress of glorious religion."

The chorten (stupa) is a chief landmark in the capital city and is also a most sacred place of worship for local people. The idea of the chorten was conceptualized by the Third King His Majesty Jigme Dorji Wangchuck to ward-off negative energies. After His Majesty鈥檚 demise, the chorten was built in his memory by the 4th King and the then Queen Mother in 1972.听Many old people come here early in the morning to circumambulate and say their prayers in the hopes of garnering enough good karma for their afterlife; they are joined by the middle and the younger generation in the evenings who also come to do either the same thing or to just relax their mind. The doors of this stupa remain mostly closed except on holy听days. Inside, there are three stories and on each floor are statues of protective deities.

This is a private temple however tourists are allowed to visit if they are given permission. Crossing this very old bridge with its swaying and undulating movements can be quite an experience. The temple's location on the ridge and the high rocky barren hills which serve as its backdrop makes this a good location to take pictures.
  
  Ta Dzong (National Museum):听The name Ta Dzong translates to 鈥榳atch tower鈥� and it served the function of watch听tower for the听Paro听Rinpung Dzong. Back in the day, similar look-out points were built for other dzongs (fortresses) to counter any approaching hostilities, for those were the听days听of frequent strife. These towers were specifically built high atop hills and other vantage points during the old听days. Presently serving as the national museum (since late 60鈥檚), it houses an array of antiquities such as ancient thangka (exquisite scroll painting), mural paintings and other forms of art done by great personalities of those听days, original textiles of the kingdom which represent the culture that still flourishes, weapons & armour used back in the day, household objects typical to the Bhutanese people鈥檚 way of life back then and even now, and other natural and historical artifacts.
