The Wonders of Shwezigon Pagoda, & the Streets of Nyaung U (Bagan, Myanmar)

TIME STAMPS: 1:25 Outside Shwezigon Pagoda; 4:15 Souvenir Stalls; 6:40 Inside Shwezigon Pagoda; 10:38 Walking to the Irrawaddy River; 12:57 Backstreets of Nyuang U; 17:12 U Yan We Hpaya; 17:51 Thatthe Mokgu Hpaya; 22:37 Downtown Nyaung U; 23:00 Ending My Walk with a Cold Beer; 24:41 Returning to the Golden Rose Guest House There are well over 2,000 pagodas, temples, and other religious structures in the Bagan area of Myanmar. One of the most famous is the Shwezigon Pagoda, located just a couple hundred meters away from my guest house in the small town of Nyaung U. This was my first day in Bagan, and instead of renting an E-Bike (I do that the next day), I set off on foot just to get my bearings and explore some of the local streets and the banks of the Irrawaddy River.
