 Mingun Temple

 If you intend to visit Mingun, the most famous tourist destination is the Mingun Pagoda. This pagoda is the largest in Myanmar but has not yet been completed. This pagoda was originally made because King Bodawpaya succeeded in getting Buddha's teeth. Happy because no king had succeeded in getting the Buddha's teeth, he decided to make the largest pagoda in Myanmar as a storage place for the tooth. The pagoda was supposed to reach 152 meters, but because predictions were stating that the kingdom would end when the pagoda was completed, the project was stopped.

 Mandalay Hill

 If you intend to visit Mandalay, you must visit Mandalay Hill which also has the Sutaungpyai Pagoda. Because it is located on the mountain, the view given when you are in Sutaungpyai Pagoda is very beautiful, especially if you visit this place at sunset or sunrise.

 The thing to remember when you come here, it's better to use sandals and bring a wet bed. All visitors are expected to take off their shoes and socks when walking in the holy area.
