Probably our favorite pagoda in Mrauk-U. To get there, take the road to Magwe and turn left just before the bridge at the exit of Mrauk-U. Then walk about two kilometers. This pagoda built in the middle of the rice fields and near a small village is the largest in Mrauk-U. Built in 1533 by King Mintaikkha, it originally had no less than 90,000 images of Buddha in galleries superimposed on two levels. Several destructions have damaged part of it, and opened up some of the galleries.

Une piste poussiéreuse conduit à cette superbe "Pagode aux 9000 images" isolée et reculée, donc moins fréquentée.
Là, on ne compte plus les statues sculptées dans les galeries extérieures à ciel ouvert ou intérieures qui, selon l' heure, laissent filtrer un très bel éclairage naturel.
Il ne faut pas hésiter à s' éloigner un peu du site à pied pour découvrir encore, un peu en hauteur, d'autres merveilles bien dissimulées.
