Very beautiful on top of mountain. From the top you can see the city view. When I visited the pagoda was under renovation as part of the periphery/surrounding structures were damaged.

One of the most Beautiful Pagodas in Myanmar. Located at and elevated place in Mawlamyine is reachable by Elevator lift. And can be descended following the steps. This Pagoda can be seen prominently from all places in Mawlamyine. The Pagoda has very beautiful idols of Large Buddha and reclining Buddha.. more images around the Pagoda. On one side of the Pagoda beautiful scenes of the lower reaches upto the river can be seen . Down the steps idols of angel like apsaras are lining to welcome the visitors.

The location of the pagoda allows for some amazing views of Mawlamyine and the surrounding area. It’s a nice quiet place to reflect, walk about, enjoy the view and cool off in what seems to be an ever-present breeze. There is also a covered walkway on the north side that leads to the Mahamuni Pagoda.

Can see the whole city of Mawlamyine from the hill top. Calm and peaceful place to relieve the stress. The guards are friendly. We even left our foot wears unattended but not stolen. Good place to visit even if you're not a Buddhist.
