Icon of Yangon and one of the main sights of the entire country, Shwedagon Pagoda is one of the inevitable pagodas to visit in this pagoda-ridden country.
Then, almost without planning to, you walk the city, and find yourself drawn to this colossal building. There are several more modest payas or pagodas in the neighbourhood, and then you end up at the base of the giant. When you are up, you realize how many local visitors there are, all devoted, all there with a mission. For many of them, this is not just a visit to an imposing pagoda, but a pilgrimage, a highly sacred place. According to legend, it is some 2500 years old, but in reality it is more likely to date from somewhere between the 6th and 10th century. Much later gilding of the stupa began.
