Paya Shwedagon. Evening.

Shwedagon Pagoda is the most sacred of the country. A place that all Burmese Buddhist dream of visiting at least once in their lives.
The original pagoda was probably built between the sixth and tenth century. Often rebuilt because of the earthquake, the current structure dates from 1769. The stupa is 98 meters above its base.
Weathervane summit is plated with gold and silver and encrusted with 1,100 diamonds totaling 278 carats.

La Pagode Shwedagon est la plus sacrée du pays. Un lieu que tous les bouddhistes birmans rêvent de visiter au moins une fois dans leur vie.
La pagode originelle fut probablement construite entre le VIe et le Xème siècle. Souvent rebâtie à cause des tremblements de terre, la structure actuelle date de 1769. Le stupa s’élève à 98 mètres au-dessus de son socle.
La girouette sommitale est plaquée d’or et d’argent et est incrustée de 1100 diamants totalisant 278 carats.
