Pahtodawgyi

TIME : 2016/2/17 15:28:56

This vast bell-shaped pagoda, erected by King Bagyidaw in 1820, is the tallest structure for miles around (185ft). It's still slightly damaged from the 2012 earthquake, but once repairs are complete men (only!) should once again be allowed to climb half-way to the upper terrace to appreciate views over the plethora of hti (stupa pinnacles) glittering through Amarapura's lush treescape.
