At first glance, Mingun is a small Burmese village, with its oxcarts and dusty dirt tracks. A dispensary overlooking the river, where old Burmese women dry garlic, floating bamboos waiting for their transit, and the biggest pile of bricks in the world: King Bodawpaya's unfinished project of the world's largest pagoda. Greedy for power, he only had time to build the pagoda's promontory where two lions, damaged by the 1838 earthquakes, stand at the entrance of the site. Since his death in 1819, the project has remained like this.

Pagode impressionnante par sa taille. De nombreuses failles provoquées pas les tremblements de terre. Il est interdit d'y entrer par crainte d'effondrement.

Impressionnant et on a devant nous que 50 mètres de hauteur alors que le roi souhaitait qu'elle mesure 153 mètre cela aurait été la pagode la plus grande du monde. Et tout cela pour y abrier la dent de BOUDDHA offerte par les chinois

Une très belle introduction à ce site (accessible par une croisière en bateau) car on est assommés par le gigantisme de ce bâtiment.
Un petit côté pyramide d'Egypte finalement (bâtiment immense à la gloire d'un roi).
Ce bâtiment permet d'apprécier le côté très travaillé de la suivante
