Botahtaung Pagoda In Yangon

This beautifully crafted Pagoda is one of the three famous worship places in the country. The name Botahtaung means “one thousand generals”. Located at the banks of the river Yangon, this gilded pagoda, unlike any of its kind, is hollow inside, thus facilitating tourists with a spectacular view of the inside of the pagoda. The reason for this place to be considered sacred is because there is a relic of Buddha’s hair in a glass case.
