Hintha Gon Pagoda, Buddhist pagoda in Bago, Myanmar

The Hintha Gon Pagoda stands on a hilltop, providing views of the Bago plains and the adjacent Shwemawdaw Pagoda through its elevated position.

The construction of Hintha Gon Pagoda was completed by hermit monk U-Khanti, who also contributed to the development of religious structures on Mandalay Hill.

The pagoda includes an annex hall at the staircase end where visitors participate in spirit worship ceremonies, combining Buddhist practices with local spiritual traditions.

Visitors need to climb several stairs to reach the pagoda summit, and the site remains open from sunrise to sunset for religious activities and photography.

According to local narratives, the pagoda marks the location where a mythical bird landed on what was once an island surrounded by water.
