I went there at day and at night, in the morning it was very crowded and noisy, although beautiful to see the golden pagoda shining under the sun. At night it was simply wonderful, the entrance was actually closed but I asked one of the guys there to let me in (I come from far away...) and once I was... More

This pagoda is as grand as what the travel brochures make it out to be but best to view it in the evening as the sun starts to go down. You will be able to see locals and monks praying and chanting and lighting candle lamps, etc along with the nice sunset! More

A marvelous architectural site. As great as the Tour Eiffel or the Taj Majal, with an added sense of the spiritual that seeps into your soul and allows you to relate personnally to the structure and to the people who venerate it. More

This is much more than an old temple full of statues. It is history, with reverence and awe. Go early in the morning, or late in the afternnoon. You must be barefoot in the temple and the tiles get VERY hot at mid-day. More

At the top platform level we mixed with crowds praying and socialising while we tourists rubbernecked and snapped the golden stupa and the scores of shrines and temples. Gold is the colour here and the late... More

It is very, very bright, even on a cloudy day due to all the white marble and gold so don't forget to bring your sunglasses. You can get a guide who will explain all... More

Simply divine and not to be missed a must see for any intrepid traveler More

Despite the hot floor at the time, it was still a worthwhile visit. There is a place assigned for each day of the week. Those who... More

You have to see it! This temple is the biggest in Myanmar. And also the must see attraction while you are in town. For 5 dollar, it is very much worth your money. If you have time, you can visit the temple at night, when the lights on. Superb scenery for the photograph enthusiast More
