Mingun Pagoda

Mingun Pagoda is a giant monument located in Mingun near Mandalay. Standing high and wide on the inland side of the road, Mingun Pagoda is actually just the cracked brick base of the original plan made by King Bodawpaya, started in 1790 and halted in 1819 when Bodawpaya died. Each side of the enormous base measures 240ft, and the lowest terrace is 460ft. There are projecting four-layer lintels over the porticoes on each of the four sides. Beautiful glazed tiles in brown, pale brown, cream and green were intended to be set in panels around the terrace, some of these tiles can be seen in the small building in front of the giant ruin.

After you climb upon the flat top of Mingun Pagoda, you can enjoy a fine view of the Hsinbyume Pagoda, Mingun village and the river.
