Sagaing Hill

Reviewed By travelwithshreya - Phitsanulok, Thailand

We had a nice view of Sagaing Hill from U Min Thonze Caves. U Min Thonze Pagoda located at the top of Sagaing hill – “U Min” means cave and “Thonze” means 30. I liked spending time there at the top of the hill. You need at least an hour to experience this.

Kaunghmudaw Pagoda

Reviewed By WhiteMouseBurrow - Moscow, Russia

The pagoda itself makes a very pleasant impression both outside and inside. There are no tourists, some locals. Near the pagoda there is a small market where you can buy local perfumes - wooden blocks, or living owls ... I wonder why they sell owls?

U Min Thonze Caves

Reviewed By travelwithshreya - Phitsanulok, Thailand

The pagoda has a crescent-shaped colonnade lined up with 45 beautiful gilded Buddha images, which are unique in different sizes and facial expression. After walking out of the enclosure at the very end, we climbed even farther to the top from where we got an amazing view of the beautiful green valley below and many stupas

Another beautiful pagoda, and even located on a hilltop, offers a wonderful view of the river and the whole city.

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.

The bridge itself is nothing special, but the view of Sagaing with its dozens of stupas from the bridge is spectacular.
