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.

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.

We travelled to the village of Mingun by boat from Mandalay and as we approached we saw what appeared to be a large sandstone mesa. This seemed a bit odd because there was nothing similar in the surrounding country. When we got close we discovered that it was man-made, and was the remnants of a huge brick pagoda that was never finished. It was intended to be 150 metres high but only the first 50 metres were built. It was subsequently damaged by earthquakes so there are big cracks and large chunks have fallen down. While this may all seem rather mundane, the sheer size of it was fascinating. It is hard to believe the amount of work and materials that were used to build it. I can only imagine how magnificent it would have been if the extra 100 metres had been added.

Very big Pagoda with 7 levels for the 7 oceans around the mountain Nero. About 120 deep steps to the top. Very good motive for photos. A must for all tourists.

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.

Maw Daw Myin Thar Pagoda ( Myao Daunt Ceti ) is one of main highlights to explore in Shwebo & it's built by King Alaungpaya in 1757 after he conquered the Mon kingdom. It's
