  The place is very near to Yangon river front. A bit crowded. But good to see many people nearby. A special flower is available nearby the Pagoda.  more »

  The Botataung pagoda is 20 minutes walking distance from Strand hotel. It is on the shore of the Yangon River. The place is clean and safe. There was a nice breeze coming from the river. The interior is golden as the walls are covered with gold leaf.

  Beautiful pagoda next to the Yangon river. It is said to have been constructed to house Buddha's hair relic when it first arrived in Myanmar. This is also the only pagoda with a hollow interior. Hence it can be entered to appreciated the beautiful golden carvings inside.
