Seeing The Shwedagon Pagoda In Yangon

The temple heavy in Yangon is definitely Shwedagon, a behemoth of a Buddhist complex on a hill. The place has room for thousands of people and they do come by the thousands to pray, walk around, hang out. It's a scene.

Main stupa.


Strolling the main promenade around the big stupa. An ersatz leprechaun-like figure, pointing you in the right direction.

Temple detail.


Buddhas everywhere, both big and plentiful.

In a quiet section, a relaxing elephant lineup.


Figures, practicing impressive high relief.

More Buddha? Sure, this time in the classic reclining position.
