Ye Le Pagoda, Buddhist pagoda on an island in Hmaw Wun Creek, Yangon, Myanmar
The Ye Le Pagoda stands on a small island in Hmaw Wun Creek, where water surrounds the structure during high tide, creating a visual effect of floating.
The religious structure dates back to the third century BCE when King Bawgasena established it to house sacred Buddhist relics on this riverside location.
Monks and devotees gather at the pagoda to perform traditional Buddhist rituals, including offerings of flowers, incense, and prayers throughout the day.
Visitors reach the pagoda via regular boat services from the mainland, with the journey taking approximately twenty minutes across the Hmaw Wun Creek waters.
The pagoda maintains a consistent physical capacity to accommodate visitors regardless of crowd size, making space management unnecessary during peak times.
