The time I visited Yangon in Myanmar I was quite surprised with the beauty of their temples I never thought that they could have such beautiful and spectacular temples all this time I thought only Thailand could have these amazingly structured temples but boy was I wrong after seeing a few extraordinary temples in Yangon it soon changed my mind.
As I approached the Shwedagon Pagoda Temple in Yangon it reminded me a little of the Grand Palace in Bangkok only this seemed more elegant this massive 99-meter-high gold-plated pagoda with the diamond studded spire was very inspiring never had I seen such a tall spire covered in gold it was a real eye opener set up on top of this little hill it could be seen from downtown Yangon dominating much of the city.
The Shwedagon Pagoda Temple is not only Yangon’s most famous landmark but known as one of the best-looking temples in the world for the Myanmar people the Shwedagon Pagoda is the most sacred place for Buddhists every day large numbers of devotees come to the Shwedagon Pagoda and walk around the temple's stupa making offerings to the Buddha then they will go inside and pray for their merits. The inside of the temple is equally as beautiful with all its gold-plated statues and gold-colored decorations you could see many man hours has gone in this superb structure.
There is so much history in this one temple complex that I could keep writing for even and its seen all around the temple grounds each and every statue and stupa tells a story just around the main stupa there are another 64 smaller stupas there is a cast bell that is believed to be the world’s largest bell weighing almost 300 tons has been installed in the Shwedagon Pagoda Temple the cast bell comes from the King of the Pegu Kingdom in the 15th century just amazing how they can keep an 300 ton cast bell hanging.
This Temple just looked spectacular and breathtaking no matter what time of the day you looked at this temple by day, by sunsets or by night it will leave you in awe it certainly left me in awe was definitely worth the visit.
