SHWE YIN MYAW PAGODA

It's the most important pagoda in town. It's called the Frog Pagoda. It is not particularly spectacular, but from its esplanade there is a fantastic view of the river on one side and the city on the other. On the river side, this is where the locals do their laundry. We find peanut sellers and young people playing chinlon, trying new acrobatics... The place is particularly magical when it's time for the sunset and the postcard colours turn pink.
