Shwedagon Pagoda

in Yangon, Myanmar
Maha Wizaya Pagoda lit up at night. Lit up entrance tower with two dragons guarding the gate. Back-lit golden Buddha statue with LED halo. The Shwedagon Pagoda gleaming against the night sky. Close-up of the gold ornaments.

We saw this place from afar during our taxi ride from the airport and decided we should visit at night. It's quite an attraction, pulling huge crowds that had the exact same idea as we did: shiny gold + night time = pretty.

We had a good time looking at the temple and were quite proud of ourselves: after 5 months, we finally came properly dressed for a Buddhist temple! No rental clothes for us!
