Mandala Garuda Wisnu Kencana, or Garuda Wisnu Kencana (GWK),
is a 240 hectares private cultural park on the Bukit Peninsula, Bali, Indonesia.
It is devoted to the Hindu god Vishnu, and his mount,
Garuda, the mythical bird who is his companion.
Currently, the statue of Vishnu is 23 metres (75.5 ft) high,
although the original plan was for a 146-metre (479 ft) gold-plated Vishnu
riding Garuda on top of an 11-storey entertainment complex. Garuda wing span
will be 64 metres (210.0 ft) across. When it's completed, it will be the largest
statue in the world. (Source: Wiki)

It was just okay. Nothing to see except the 2 uncompleted statues shown.
The ticket is pricey compared to Balinese Standards.
Try to go it in the evening to escape the dead hot Sun.
