The highlight of Yangon is the Shwedagon Pagoda which you can see from any part of the city.
The elevators to go up
There is an attire/dress code for temples in Myanmar and here they were most strict when it came to wearing the right length of skirt and the wearing of shorts. They will lend you a sarong to wear in case you are not dressed correctly
Free wifi! haha
Bodhi Tree where Buddha was enlightened
Just beautiful!! Again the photo never justifies the feeling that you will get when you are standing right there and looking at them and just being there
What a wonderful way to end our Myanmar trip!! The most beautiful and oldest temple in the world! The Shwedagon Temple in Yangon.
100 meters high -24 karat gold leaf and has a 78 karat diamond on top. As time went by they added structures around it. There are
64 replicas of the stupa around And 82 temples owned by rich families.
It rained a bit after a few minutes of picture taking which explains the dark skies
I am glad we are together for our best adventures
Night photos which make the sky so blue!
Many buddhas all over
Another nigh shot
I’ve never seen so many Buddhas in my life!! Myanmar has the most temples in the world. It’s amazing how many people treat Buddha as a god when he was a real human being. They not only believe in his Philosophies but they treat him as a god!
