If life goes down may fall down like the top of a pagoda”

One of the most memorable pagodas in Myanmar. Shwe Maw Daw is in Bago, a city that is not too far from Yangon, a couple of hours by car. You could visit it as a day trip or on your way to Mandalay. Shwe Maw Daw is older than many other pagodas in Myanmar and is very popular with tourists and locals. Other than the stupa and the various temples, take the time to observe everyday scenes, albeit discreetly. More than anything, Shwe Maw Daw is a meeting place for the local community. Other than those coming to pray, I observed family outings and a picnic or two.

A must-go place in yangon. Very beautiful pagoda. Best time to go after 5pm where you can view the sunset and night scene of the stupa. It's so beautiful at night! Many devotees do their meditation in this place. Remember, short and Bermudas are not allowed.

It's a clean pagoda now with no crowd.

When I visited, it was just a pagoda. However, they do offer a parking lot, with charges. Nonetheless, it's one of the historic places in Bago. By the way, this is the largest pagoda in Bago. If you're in Bago, it's a must-visit.

Quiet place &peaceful mind 🙏🙏🙏 Very famous pagoda in Bago tsp:
