temples, monasteries, pagodas, and stupas in the spiritual country, Myanmar. Here
are our top five picks of Myanmar temples
1.
Lawkaoushaung
Temple, Bagan
This temple is alluring in all
aspects and is one among the best Myanmar temples. It has patios at the second
and third floors, which hover above the tree line and provide a spectacular 360
degree of the view of the Myinkaba plain blanketed by the remarkable early
morning mist.
2.
Shwedagon
Pagoda, Yangon
This Pagoda is a truly magical site
to witness. This shimmering pagoda is a magical sight and adorns several hundreds
of precious stones. As it is decorated with diamonds, the top of the stupa offers
a spectacular sight at this Myanmar Temple at Yangon. Also, the legends say
that the stupa has been sealed with more riches and even includes a hair of
Buddha himself.
