Bawgyo Pagoda, Buddhist pagoda in Bawgyo village near Hsipaw, Myanmar

The Bawgyo Pagoda stands as a white-painted religious structure with traditional Burmese architectural elements, including a characteristic spired ornament at its summit.

Built during the 12th century, the Bawgyo Pagoda underwent substantial restoration work between 1995 and 1996 under the direction of Khin Nyunt.

The pagoda maintains its role as an active center for Buddhist worship, where local devotees gather to practice their religious traditions throughout the year.

Located at coordinates 22.583282 latitude and 97.233645 longitude, the pagoda welcomes visitors who can reach it by traveling several miles from Hsipaw town.

Every March, the pagoda grounds transform into a festival site where Buddhist practitioners commemorate the founding of this religious monument.
