This white washed pagoda set by the riverbanks gives an idea of how Mingun gigantic pagoda intended to look like and has a nice entrance staircase with lions and lining figures. It was there when the first invasion of hawkers started, which in fact in Mingun is the major annoyance. They won’t let you alone until you buy something.
