Dating from 1878, the pagoda is located at the foot of Mandalay Hill. It houses an image of Buddha carved from a single block of marble from the Sagyin quarries north of Mandalay, measuring nearly 10m. Its transport from the canal would have required the work of more than 10,000 men for two weeks. It is clearly for the impressive statue of Buddha that this pagoda is visited. As for the rest, we will surely have seen it elsewhere. At nightfall, the place is a little more animated and frequented by followers.
