Saigang Essentials

Sagaing serves as a major religious and historical center on the Irrawaddy River, housing significant Buddhist monuments and ruins of former royal capitals. This selection highlights the Laykyun Sekkya, one of the world's tallest statues, and the massive unfinished Mingun Paya stupa. The list includes the wavy white terraces of Hsinbyume Pagoda, the 90-ton Mingun Bell, and the ancient masonry of Mae Nu Oak Kyaung. These sites represent centuries of Burmese craftsmanship, from the 14th-century capital of Inwa to the 17th-century Kaunghmudaw Pagoda.
