The Big Buddha is 24 hours but the temple at the bottom of the white steps might close around 19:00.

No, you need to climb the stairs. However the view is better from the small temple at the bottom of the staircase.

Hi It's pretty much as per the answer above. Cross the bridge take the left fork. It's pretty easy to find if you have a sense of direction.mone thing I found was even if you took a wrong turn you almost always managed to find a way.mi would also recommend a visit to the tea house on top of the hill on the town side of Pai. The view is awesome !
