MYANMAR RIVER CRUISES - Key Persons


Bodhi Tahtaung Pagoda

This name means "1000 Buddhas". It is because of that Bodhi Tahtaung Pagoda has 1000 Bodhi trees and each tree has a large Buddha image underneath. Especially, on the range of hills Po Khaung Taung lying east of this pagoda, there is a 91-meter reclining Buddha image, which is the largest one in the world. This huge statue has a hollow cave-like structure inside, so you can walk from head to toes.
