Tourists go down the stairs of Mingun Pahtodawgyi Temple. This is an incomplete monument stupa in Mingun, approximately 10 kilometres 6.2 mi northwest of Mandalay in Sagaing Region in central Myanmar. The ruins are the remains of a massive construction project begun by King Bodawpaya in 1790 which was intentionally left unfinished. The pahtodawgyi is seen as the physical manifestations of the well known eccentricities of Bodawpaya. He set up an observation post on an island off Mingun to personally supervise the construction of the temple. Myanmar is geographically the largest country in Southeast Asia, which attracts many tourists each year. |
