Shwedagon Pagoda

❤Recommended reason: The Shwedagon Pagoda is also known as the "Great Dagon Pagoda." In Burmese, "Shwe" means "gold" and "Dagon" is the ancient name of Yangon. The Burmese people regard the Shwedagon Pagoda as their pride. 🌟Highlights: The Shwedagon Pagoda was first built in 585 BC and was only 20 meters high at that time. It has been repaired many times over the years. The pagoda is shaped like an inverted giant bell and is made of bricks. After years of construction, the pagoda is now 112 meters high. The pagoda is covered with more than 1,000 sheets of pure gold foil, weighing more than 7 tons. There are more than 15,000 gold and silver bells hanging around the pagoda. When the wind blows, the bells ring and the sound spreads far and wide. 👍Most recommended: The pagoda enshrines the relics of four Buddhas, including the staff of Kakusandha Buddha, the water filter of Konagamana Buddha, the robe of Kassapa Buddha, and eight strands of hair from Gautama Buddha. ❤Recommended reason: The Shwedagon Pagoda is a national symbol of Myanmar. Together with the Borobudur Temple in Indonesia and Angkor Wat in Cambodia, it is known as a treasure of Eastern art and is a world-famous pagoda.
