Yangon is blessed with many pagodas, and one of the most popular is the Shwedagon Pagoda. It is an absolutely stunning creation that has precious stones such as diamonds and rubies in its structure. Inside the pagoda, you find many treasures such as diamond crowns and it is believed that they belong to the 06th century AD. Although it's mostly the Buddhists who find this pagoda so sacred because of the fact that the Sacred Hair of Lord Buddha was housed in this building, it is equally visited and worshiped by non-Buddhists as well. If you are considering visiting the Shwedagon Pagoda, it is always ideal to plan your visit in an evening because then you'll be able to enjoy the beautiful sunsets in Yangon that are highly picturesque as well.
The Sule Pagoda (which is known as 'Sule Paya' by the locals) is also another famous pagoda in the city that houses a 46-meter Stupa that takes an octagonal shape. The Botataung Pagoda and the Kaba Aye Pagoda are also loved by travellers, mainly because of the unique architectural designs that they present.
