Visiting the Shwedagon Pagoda in Myanmar is like stepping into a majestic dream. The iconic golden dome gleams in the sun, and the hallowed grounds are a sight to behold. I was in awe of the majesty and beauty of this incredible place. Truly a must-see destination!

The most serene location in Myanmar. It makes the mind clear. The enormous golden pagoda is the main draw. It's a location with history. I plan to visit Shwedagon Pagoda upon my next visit to Yangon.

Probably one of the most amazing sights in South East Asia. It was absolutely stunning. We were the only obvious foreign tourists there and paid 20000 Kyat each in entry. That's 5½ US $ if you change legally at the money exchange shops. You have to leave your shoes at entry and put on a kind of skirt to cover your legs.

Shwedagon is extraordinary. I mean really amazing. Vibrant, bustling, magnificent. Spend time exploring and wandering (and wondering). It’s like the pictures but it also makes a sound, which was unexpected. Also worth going more than once - sunset time was really magical but so was the more active morning session. You’ll need to dress appropriately.

The Shwedagon Pagoda is breathtaking. Covered in gold and intricately designed, its beauty speaks for itself. Beyond that, we found its religious significance to be incredibly moving. Seeing locals pray and make offerings provided a deeper understanding of its importance in Burmese culture. This site is a must-see for anyone visiting Myanmar!

This place is GOLD 🤩, literally! We were blown away by the sheer size and grandeur of the pagoda, not to mention all the glittering gold. Definitely worth a visit, just be prepared to take your shoes off(and maybe wear socks!)

Talk about BLING! This place is covered in gold. But seriously, the Shwedagon Pagoda was stunning. We loved watching the traditional rituals ( even if we didn’t understand anything) . We even achieved peak zen - despite the crowds. Worth braving the heat and the crowds!

Shwenandaw Monastery is a cultural landmark that's off the beaten path, but totally worth the detour. We felt like Indiana Jones navigating the teakwood hallways and admiring the intricate carvings. Don't miss this unique experience – your inner explorer will thank you!

The ancient history of this sacred site was palpable, with every detail reflecting its religious significance. We were captivated by the panoramic city views from the pagoda, offering a serene backdrop to our exploration. This visit was a perfect blend of cultural enrichment and spiritual reflection, making it a highlight of our journey.

This iconic landmark, with its 99-meter golden stupa, holds immense historical significance dating back over 2,600 years. We observed locals performing traditional rituals, such as pouring water over Buddha statues and offering flowers. The pagoda complex houses numerous shrines and pavilions, each with its own story. We learned about the eight planetary posts and their connection to Myanmar's astrological beliefs. The atmosphere, especially at sunset, was serene and awe-inspiring. Shwedagon Pagoda offers a unique glimpse into Myanmar's rich cultural heritage and religious practices.
