Myathalun Pagoda, Buddhist temple in Magway, Myanmar.

The Myathalun Pagoda rises 104 feet high on the banks of the Irrawaddy River, featuring traditional Burmese architectural elements and golden ornaments.

In 1847, a major earthquake caused substantial damage to the structure, leading to a complete reconstruction by Magway mayor Min Din Min Hla Kyaw Gaung.

The pagoda houses The Bed of Buddha, making it an essential destination for Buddhist practitioners who gather for prayers and religious ceremonies.

Visitors can access the pagoda daily between 4:00 AM and 11:00 PM, with local buses and taxis providing transportation from central Magway.

The pagoda underwent multiple height increases throughout history, starting from 55.5 feet, then 87 feet, before reaching its current elevation of 104 feet.
