Hantharwady village, starting around a mile south of the moat, has a whole collection of further stupas. Notably, in the field across the road from the large gilt bell-stupa of Sandamuni (Maha Myamuni) Paya is the four-storey stub of the once huge Le-htat-gyi Paya . Like a smaller verson of Mingun Paya, it has been dangerously fissured by earthquakes, but retains a fair amount of stucco detail. The village also hides a charmingly uncommercial laquerware company making monks' alms bowls.
