Dhammayangyi Temple

Dhammayangyi Temple is the largest temple in Old Bagan. It was built by the King Narathu in the 12th century. Its structure is similar to the Ananda Temple. You can't climb the exterior of the temple, but it's worth observing, at least from the outside. There are internal stairs that take you up a little to get good views of what can be seen from this temple. It's common to find children playing there after 5:00pm. The sunset is especially beautiful from this temple, whose western walls turn a beautiful reddish colour.
