One more pic reposted from my page @myanmarallabout Have a look - pics from my last trip in Myanmar or Burma • • • • • • The famous Instagram pagoda...😂🤣😅 The Hsinbyume Pagoda (Burmese: ဆင်ဖြူမယ်စေတီ[sʰɪ̀ɴ pʰjù mɛ̀ zèdì]; also known as Myatheindan Pagoda (မြသိန်းတန်စေတီ [mja̰ θéɪɴ dàɴ zèdì])) is a large pagoda on the northern side of Mingun in Sagaing Region in Myanmar, on the western bank of the Irrawaddy River. It is approximately 10 kilometres (6.2 mi) northwest of Mandalay and is located in the proximity of the Mingun Pahtodawgyi. The pagoda is painted white and is modelled on the physical description of the Buddhist sacred mountain, Mount Meru. The pagoda was built in 1816 by Bagyidaw. It is dedicated to the memory of his first consort and cousin, Princess Hsinbyume (ဆင်ဖြူမယ်, lit. Princess White Elephant, 1789–1812) who had died in childbirth in a site nearby. The pagoda's design is a great departure from Burmese pagoda design norms. It is based on descriptions of the mythical Sulamani pagoda on Mount Meru, and the lower parts of the pagoda represent the mountain. Seven concentric terraces represent the seven mountain ranges going up to the Mount Meru according to Buddhist mythology. . . . . #over60traveler #worldnomads #culturetrip #iamatraveler #myanmarallabout #myanmar #myanmartravel #myanmartourism #visitmyanmar #travelmyanmar #myanmartrip #instamyanmar #igmyanmar #myanmarburma #myanmarphotos #burma #birmanie #igersmyanmar #igersbirmanie #dronegram #dronepic #droneworld #djimavicair #mavicair #dronephoto #dronefootage #dronestagram (at Myanmar) https://www.instagram.com/p/B2FLqqIJCxC/?igshid=1esg9so4iui3f

Yangon Circular Railway, Myanmar 🤪🚄🚂🚃 Yangon Circular Railway (Burmese: ရန်ကုန် မြို့ပတ် ရထား [jàɴɡòʊɴ mjo̰baʔ jətʰá]) is the local commuter rail network that serves the Yangon metropolitan area. Operated by Myanmar Railways, the 45.9-kilometre (28.5 mi) 39-station loop system connects satellite towns and suburban areas to the city. Circa 2008–2010, the railway had about 200 coaches, had 20 daily runs, and sold 100,000 to 150,000 tickets daily. The loop, which takes about three hours to complete, is a way to see a cross section of life in Yangon. The Railway is heavily utilized by lower-income commuters, as it is (along with buses) the cheapest method of transportation in Yangon. Yangon Circular Railway was built during colonial times by the British. The double track railway was built in 1954. . . . . #over60traveler #myanmarallabout #YangonCircularRailway #myanmar #myanmartravel #myanmartourism #visitmyanmar #travelmyanmar #myanmartrip #instamyanmar #igmyanmar #myanmarburma #myanmarphotos #burma #birmanie #igersmyanmar #igersbirmanie #myanmarstreetstyle #yangon #thepeoplewemet #theearthoutdoors #earthoutdoors #traveltheglobe #traveladdicted #theculturetrip #adventurethatislife #solotravelingisfun #worldnomads #worldnomad #iamatraveller (at Yangon Central Railway Station) https://www.instagram.com/p/BzlUkHqnIej/?igshid=19t8ldwhrt7zz

The Mingun Pahtodawgyi, Mingun, Mandalay 😇😇😇 (မင်းကွန်းပုထိုးတော်ကြီး, IPA: [mɪ́ɴɡʊ́ɴ patʰóu dɔ̀ dʑí]) is an incomplete monument stupa in Mingun, approximately 10 kilometres (6.2 mi) northwest of Mandalay in Sagaing Region in central Myanmar (formerly Burma). 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. Bodawpaya used thousands of prisoners of war from his expansionist campaigns and slaves working on the construction of the stupa. The construction was also seen as having a heavy toll over the people and the state, thus a prophecy was allegedly created, to stop the project. The approach in conveying the dissatisfaction was allegedly to utilize the King's deep superstition. The prophecy went "as soon as the building of the pagoda was over, the country would also be gone". A variation states that king would die once the project was completed. Thus, construction was slowed down to prevent the prophecy's realisation and when the king died, the project was completely halted. A model pagoda nearby, typical of many large pagoda projects like the Shwedagon Pagoda and Thatbyinnyu Temple, offers a small scale of what would have been a 150 metres (490 ft) tall temple. However, it holds the record of being the largest pile of bricks in the world. . . . . #over60traveler  #myanmarallabout  #mingunPahtodawgyi #mingun #myanmar  #myanmartravel  #myanmartourism  #visitmyanmar  #travelmyanmar  #myanmartrip #instamyanmar #igmyanmar  #myanmarburma  #myanmarphotos #burma  #birmanie #igersmyanmar #igersbirmanie #myanmarstreetstyle  #mandalay #thepeoplewemet  #earthoutdoors  #traveltheglobe  #traveladdicted #theculturetrip  #adventurethatislife  #solotravelingisfun #worldnomads  #worldnomad  #iamatraveller (at Mingun Pahtodawgyi) https://www.instagram.com/p/BzKhHurnNWy/?igshid=1wybafvits6k9
