So many caves dug into the hillside and so many beautiful Buddhas within. A piece of history and an architectural dream created into reality

A mini Bagan without all the tourists. Love love this place. Hard to get to but once there it’s all your. Just you and 800 year-old temples and stupas. Can’t imagine that this will stay off the tourist pipeline much longer but until then. One of my favs in all of all Myanmar.

I visited very often with my clients and it is so nice to learn about the nuns and nunnery. If you are interested in about buddhism and nuns you should visit that place. We call Thakya Di Tar nunnery and i do recommend you highly.

It was the heaviest functioning non-cracked bell in the world at several times in history. It was casted in 1808 and finished in 1810. It s height is 12 feet.

The 4-m high and 90-tons heavy Mingun bell is the largest working bell in the world, which was meant to be installed at the top of the giant pagoda. We slipped inside the huge Mingun Bell and it was so cool because of the thick metal.

Together with many other bizarre and spectacular sites in Myanmar this is one to definitely stop and have look at. The shear size of this and the sitting Buddha currently nearing completion is a sight to behold. You really wonder, having just driven through villages subject to various levels of poverty how such grandiose structures can be so justified throughout the land.

The Mingun Pahtodawgyi or Mingun Pagoda is a massive unfinished pagoda built at the end of the 18th century, that was meant to be the largest pagoda in the country, but the work was halted because of the belief that its completion may bring bad luck to the kingdom. It is possible to climb to a part of the Mingun pagoda by staircases where we found countless incense sticks stuck on the wall of the pagoda – you cannot climb to the top as it has been closed after few accidents. There are remains of two giant Chinthes – leogryph meaning lion-like structures you see in front of pagodas and temples – about 29 m high, guarding the temple right in front of the pagoda facing the river.
