Ruiguyi Pagoda Temple is a Buddhist building in the middle of Bagan, built in 1140 during the reign of Aron Sidu king, Ruigu means "Golden Cave", because it is very close to the ancient palace, known as the pagoda in front of the palace. The tower was built on the base of the brick tower of 3.6 meters high. It is legendary that this is the king's endurance that caused a huge brick to rise out of the ground to form the tower temple. According to historical records, the king was taken out of the palace by his son when he was old and moved to the tower temple, and was later taken into custody. Four Buddha statues and two inscriptions remain in the temple. On the viewing platform of the temple, you can view the nearby temple group.

    Bagan is a journey of exploration. The whole Bagan is full of pagodas and temples, all dilapidated relics. Some restorations are OK, and it can be guaranteed to be the role of the temple. It takes almost two or three days to visit the main temples and pagodas in the whole department. It is not easy to find this tower according to the map, but it is easy to find the shape. There are not many reliefs.

    The front desk of the hotel told me that it was the only pagoda that could be climbed in Bagan. I rode an electric car before dawn. I found it by mobile phone navigation. There were already many people waiting there to watch the sunrise. When the sun rose, I saw countless pagodas in the distance covered in a mist, and the hot air balloon floated in the air, beautiful.

    The Ruiguyi Tower was accidentally encountered on the way to the Ruishandu Tower. In the existing tower of Bagan, Ruiguyi is not particularly famous, but elegant and unforgettable. It is set off against each other and reflects on the other Binyu Tower behind. Especially it has a second-level platform to go up, which is like a treasure in Bagan now. If you really can't find a suitable tower to watch the sunrise and sunset, this is a good choice.

    The highlight here is undoubtedly the official encrusted, engraved with slabs of Palivan telling the history of the temple! Why didn't it mention that the son of the order builder Alaungsithu brought his sick father here, and suffocated him to death?

    Ruiguyi Tower, Shwegugyi Temple, also called Suweikuji Buddha Tower. There are two little girls at the door selling small commodities. One of them is very enthusiastic to help us try out "Turnaround". Since the little girl is happy, I am happy to use it. The little girl is very good at doing business, telling us to go ahead and play, and then decide whether to buy it after returning. The pressure is stronger than the mountain. In the corner of the northeast, you can find very secret steps. Along the dark passage, you can climb the high-rise viewing platform of the mountain. Adjacent to the Dabinnho Temple, the tallest pagoda in Bagan stands tall in the Yunyun pagoda. Since Ruiguyi is located in the west of Lao Bagan, it is perfect for looking to the Bagan Plain in the east of Wantalin. It should also be a great location to watch the sunrise. With Ananda and Dabinnuo the most promising, the photographers will definitely create a great blockbuster. If I can watch the sunrise for one more day in Bagan, Ruiguyi should be the best choice. Since Ruiguyi Tower is very close to the palace site, it is also considered the Royal Buddha. It is said that King Alaungsithu was suffocated here by his son Narathu, so Ruiguyi also felt sad.
