Shwe Indein Pagoda, Buddhist complex in Inle Lake, Myanmar
The Shwe Indein Pagoda spans across a hillside with 1600 stupas of different sizes, shapes, and states of preservation near Inle Lake.
Construction of the pagoda complex started during King Narapatisithu's reign in the 12th century, with additional structures built through the 18th century.
The structures feature traditional Burmese zedi architecture, decorated with stone carvings of mythological creatures and religious motifs throughout the complex.
Visitors reach the pagoda by boat through an 8-kilometer canal from Inle Lake, with the journey costing approximately 18,000 kyat.
Many stupas remain untouched, with tree roots and vegetation growing through their structures, creating patterns across ancient stone surfaces.
