Shwe Sandaw is not one of the large - and impressive because of its size - pagodas of Myanmar, but it is one of its most charming. The story of how a German Buddhist and his Burmese wife contributed to building this temple also gives it a romantic edge. The interior design of the building relies heavily on the use of colorful mirrors, adding an extra element of quaintness to an already unique setup. Worth the detour.

Located in the centre of Taungoo Town, Myanmar, Shwesandaw Paya is one of the grandest pagodas of Taungoo, attracting lots of Buddhist pilgrims as well as travelers around the world every year.
The pagoda was built as a gilded bell shape which is the traditional design of Buddhist architecture in Myanmar. Actually, there are four pagodas in Myanmar with the same name “Shwesandaw”. The Myanmar legend says that The King of ancient Sri Lanka gave to Bayint Naung eight precious hairs of Lord Buddha. After that, Bayint Naung kept four strands. The rest was divided equally among his four brothers- Lord of Martaban, Lord of Pyay, Lord of Taungoo and Lord of Inwa. Min Khaung, the Lord of Taungoo, constructed a stupa named Shwesandaw in 1570 to keep his part. On the west of the stupa, an impressive pavilion is outstanding with a sitting Buddha image which was casted from the silver and bronze. The weight of this statue is equal to the one of the devout civil servant who donated it for Shwesandaw pagoda. After his death, monks have placed his ashes behind the statue to remember the merit. Another pavilion nearby contains a reclining Buddha surrounded by monastic disciples. Along the wall is transparent glass cabinet exhibiting religious artifacts and small statues donated by the Buddhists and the faithful. It is noteworthy that sculptures illustrating the seven Myanmar Taungoo kings along with three small shrines: Sarawati, Shin Upagot and Kuan Yin- a separate temple was established to placate the Chinese.
With distinctive historical value and religious culture Shwesandaw Paya will be the highlight of the Taungoo journey.

One of the famous pagodas in Myanmar. This pagoda is the biggest and famous in Taungoo, ancient city of Myanmar's kingdom. There is also big Buddha statues of lying and sitting positions. This pagoda is historical along with the over 500 years old Taungoo city. It's one of the king's palace city and has many historical places like this pagoda. This pagoda is wonderful not only during day time but also at the night. People come here to pay homepage to the Buddha and say prayers. You can buy some Myanmar arts . There is also a lake for turtles and you can feed them with vegetables. One of the must visit place in town.

Famous historical pagoda of Toungoo since last 500 years ago. It is named for the golden hair of King Dabinshwehtee (who was the son of King Mingyinyo, the founder of Kaytumadi Toungoo Grand Palace and tried to implement the Second Golden Era of Ancient Myanmar) having one golden hair since he was born. The Pagoda is situated on the south of the Palace remains, near the Royal Lake (Kandawgyi).
