Mingun Review

The ancient city of Mingong should mean the pagoda, it is really spectacular and amazing! Be sure to go there, there is no such huge brick building in other places. Mingong does not accept Mandalay's pass, and tickets need to be purchased separately: $3. The bathroom is for 200K.

It is still far from the city. You can consider chartering a car. It is quite convenient to walk through several ancient cities together. It is the farthest from the city in Mandalay. It takes an hour to get there by boat.

The Mingong Pagoda is the most worth seeing here. It was built in 1790, only one of three. If Emperor Bodawpaya did not collapse in 1819, it would be the largest Pagoda in the world. Imagine it is magnificent! The remaining highlights, including the thighs of a pair of God animals in front of the pagoda, the nearby bell and the white Xinhua Mei Pagoda, should be plentiful if you want to go by boat. Bathroom, Point Restaurant near the ticket office. How clean!

Mingong Ancient City Mingong is actually across the river from Mandalay, but because crossing the river requires a detour to the bridge in Shijie, the distance is far away. Mingong Ancient City now only has three attractions to see, Mingong Buddha Pagoda, Big Bell and White Temple. It is said that Meng Yun, the king of the Gongbang Dynasty, wanted his queen to ascend the tower to worship the distant Ganfo Tower group, and deliberately built this huge tower in Mingong on the other side of Mandalay, planning three floors, 150 meters tall, the king personally supervised the construction. If built, it will become the world's largest pagoda, but the man who built it will die after a third of the construction. The huge project eventually gave up, leaving only one of the world's largest brick buildings and two giant stone lions, Cinte. The earthquake behind, even Sinte only left the base standing. From this huge base, you can imagine the magnificent of the year.
