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?

Thanboddhay Paya

Reviewed By GoPlaces00822901997

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 Myint Village

Reviewed By Gamecock95

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.

Dha Kya Di Tar Convent

Reviewed By etlinnl

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.
