Kyaik Htee Saung, Buddhist pagoda in Bilin, Myanmar.

Kyaik Htee Saung is a pagoda complex in Bilin that rises from a laterite stone hillock and houses multiple sacred structures arranged in ascending layers. The site contains numerous temples and prayer halls organized around central shrines.

Two brothers, Deiwa Kondala and Namani Kondala, built the original pagoda to preserve a strand of Buddha's hair. The complex developed over centuries as additional sacred structures were added to the site.

The name refers to the distinctive tilted spire that developed over time as the structure settled. Visitors notice this defining feature immediately when they enter the complex and move through the prayer halls.

Visitors find prayer halls, accommodation areas, and spaces for religious ceremonies that take place year-round at the site. The compound is accessible at various times, with early mornings and evenings offering quieter periods for exploration.

The complex contains nine sacred pagodas holding authenticated Buddha relics, making it a major center of Buddhist devotion. This collection draws pilgrims from across the region who seek out the holy site.
