Shwemawdaw Paya

The Shwemawdaw Paya pagoda was built over 1,000 years ago. It was rebuilt after an earthquake in 1930 and here you can see the remains left from the stupa after of the earthquake of 1917. The Paya Shwemawdaw Stupa is the highest pagoda in Myanmar (Burma), exceeding by 14 meters the stupa of Shwedagon Paya (the main pagoda in Yangon (Rangoon) and all of Myanmar (Burma). If I compare the Shwemawdaw Pagoda and Shwedagon Pagoda, the fist, in Bago, does not have the same quality finishes and the same magic as that in Yangon.

This pagoda is very famous in the biggest Pagoda in Myanmar.
