Workshop # 72 - Shwedagon Pagoda, Myanmar.

I think i forgot to show you guys this pagoda that I visited last year in Nov. Just remember when I run through the pictures in my picture folder in the pc... These Shwedagon Pagoda is quite famous here in Yangon. It is located in the centre of Yangon, Myanmar and also a tourist spot for foreigners like us. Not only that, locals came here to pray too... so you can imagine the number of people visiting these place daily... so here you go.. enjoy...

From the hotel that I stay..

Cost me USD 5 to get in.. imagine how much revenue the make with the number of tourist coming. Local get in for Free..

So inhouse rules to follow.

Shot of the tip of the main pagoda... you will know why later.

That is Shwedagon Pagoda...and the largest among all surrounding it.

More...

Buddha statue.

The design of the ceiling in one of the pagoda.

He is trying to bang the bell..

Some more buddha statue.

I think those are volunteer workers helping to keep the place clean. Bear in mind.. we are all bare footed when coming in.

The very top of the main pagoda is tipped with a 76 carat (15 g) diamond. Don't think of reaching it.. too high.

The crown is tipped with 5,448 diamonds and 2,317 rubies. and beside that, the whole pagoda is covered with gold plate.. and this is why it is so special.

Another shot of Shwedagon Pagoda from different angle.

So oklah.. that's all for these Pagoda.. Job done and complete. Now I can move on to something else..so be back and make sure you too okie.
