Dabinu Pagoda

#100WaysOfTravel Myanmar is a country of pagodas. There are tens of thousands of pagodas in Myanmar, and new pagodas are constantly being built. The vast majority of people in Myanmar are devout Buddhists. They use their meager income to make offerings to temples and stick gold foil on Buddha statues to show their sincerity. Buddhist practitioners from all over the world also come to Myanmar to practice Buddhism, which shows the prosperity of Buddhism in Myanmar. If you want to see pagodas, you must come to Bagan. The pagodas here are all over the mountains, which is very spectacular. Of course, the most distinctive one is the Thatbinu Pagoda, which is the tallest temple in Bagan, 61 meters high. It is located in the archaeological area and has been listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2019. Built in 1144 during the reign of King Sidhu I, the temple was severely damaged in the 2016 earthquake. The temple is undergoing restoration and the main shrine on the upper terrace is closed to visitors. Thatbynu Pagoda stands firmly on the vast plains of Bagan and can be easily seen even from a distance. The temple's building is like a square box or a tower, painted white. The height and unique advantages make the Thatbin Nyonya Temple stand out from other temples. You need a wide-angle lens to capture the whole picture. It is spectacular and shocking. I highly recommend it.
