4-days Self-guided Solo Tour in Myanmar (Burma)
February 02-08, 2014
After visiting the Thatbyinnyu Temple, I visited tow of the most famous Pagoda's for initial initial intention of sunset viewing. But due to exhaustion, temple-out and hunger, I decided to just capture photo's and enjoy the remaining battery life of my E-bike before it becomes empty. Very minimal tourist along the road, though very dusty, this event was one of the most happiest adventure of my life.
Shwesandaw Pagoda - the highest Pagoda Tourists can reach
(be very cautious of the stairway steepness) and the best place for sunset viewing. This was also the location the of surprise ticket inspection (15,000kyat for Bagan Archeological Zone 5-days pass) where I was caught off-guard, good thing I have this very vigilant and persuasive explanation.
Dhammayangyi Pahto - the mother of all pagoda's in Bagan. This is the largest and
the symbol of Bagan Archaeological Zone.
Shwesandaw Pagoda is a
Buddhist pagoda located in Bagan, Burma. The pagoda contains a series of five
terraces, topped with a cylindrical stupa, which has a bejewelled umbrella
(hti). The pagoda was built by King Anawrahta in 1057, and once contained terra
cotta tiles depicting scenes from the Jataka. Enshrined within the pagoda are
sacred hairs of Gautama Buddha, which were obtained from Thaton.
