Botataung Pagoda and the Yangon river





The Botataung Pagoda is near the ferry docks on the Yangon river in southeastern Yangon.  It was bombed in 1943 and rebuilt as a hollow structure that you can walk inside.  We spent some time here and then took a ship to watch the Yangon sunset.  However it was cloudy and the sunset was not spectacular.  But it was a pleasant evening, nice to be away from the hustle of the city.
