Getting a bird’s eye view of the temples in Myanmar is<br />
the best way to see them - the geometric shapes they<br />
make with the line up of pagodas are amazing. In this<br />
photo, you can see Khutodaw Pagoda, with Sandamuni<br />
Pagoda in the distance.<br />
Much larger than the lanterns often seen in other<br />
parts of Asia are the fire lanterns launched in<br />
Myanmar. These large lanterns, which can be as big as<br />
the hot air balloons launched in the 19th century, need<br />
a much larger flame to lift off. The best place to see<br />
them is at the Taunggyi fire lantern festival.<br />
Mandalay hill is one of the most iconic sights in<br />
Mandalay, when viewed from either side of it, from it,<br />
or in this case, above it. The hill stands at 240 metres,<br />
has numerous temples and pagodas on it, and at its<br />
peak is Sutaungpyei Pagoda.<br />
