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

This place is mind-boggling in many ways, its sheer size and dimensions, its architectural design with roof top windows, with its more than 500tsd. Buddha images decorating the interior walls, its huge Borobodur style golden Stupa, and its many worshippers who came that special day (Buddha day at full moon) in festive mood. There is a huge market on the outside of the compound, and it was not easy to find parking and our way to one of the gates into the compound. Likewise, you can easily lose your sense of orientation once you are inside and want to find your way back to the carpark. Please calculate at least 3 hours for paying a meaningful visit to the pagoda. It is highly recommended indeed.

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.

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.
