Shwezigon Paya is much smaller than Shwedagon but still has many small altars to see full of various Buddha statues.

the temple is beautiful,calm and quiet inside, with tourists and locals faithfully sacrificing Buddha. when you visit here you can feel the ancient atmosphere how myanmar people in the past stick with their beautiful culture. but outside the temple where is the small market that sell souvenirs is not so.
