Entering the Shwedagon Pagoda in Yangon, Myanmar

#Overseas internet celebrity check-in point The Shwedagon Pagoda in Yangon, Myanmar, is the most famous pagoda in Myanmar. It is a tourist attraction that cannot be missed. It is called a treasure of oriental art together with the Borobudur Pagoda in Indonesia and Angkor Wat in Cambodia. The tower is 112 meters tall, has a base of 115 square meters, and uses more than 7 tons of gold. The Shwedagon Pagoda was built in 585 BC. When it was first built, it was only 20 meters high. It has been repaired many times in the past dynasties to reach its current size. The main tower of Shwedagon Pagoda is surrounded by walls and has entrances from north, south, east and west. It is the highest point in Yangon. When entering the Golden Pagoda Buddha Land in Myanmar, no one is allowed to wear shoes. Everyone walks barefoot to show respect for the Buddha. Before Buddha, everyone is equal. If you haven’t been to Shwedagon Pagoda, you haven’t been to Myanmar. As the national symbol of Myanmar, everyone just missed it. Detailed address: Mount St. Dingodara on the shores of North Inya Lake in Yangon City, Myanmar
