Virtual Tour of Shwethalyaung Buddha in Bago, Myanmar

360 virtual tour of the Shwethalyaung Buddha in Bago, Myanmar.

The Shwethalyaung Buddha is located in the Shwethalyaung Pagoda in Bago, Myanmar. It is 55 metres long and 16 metres high and is the second largest reclining Buddha in the world. The steel pavilion was built in 1906 to preserve the Buddha from the effects of the weather. It was said to be built in 994 during the rule of Mon King Migadepa but fell into ruin and was forgotten and lost to the jungle. The Buddha was found by an Indian contractor while constructing a railway during the time of British occupation.

Foreigners must pay 10,000 kyat to enter and there is also a small camera fee if you wish to take photos. Because of its massive size, a virtual tour is a perfect way to capture the Buddha and the atmosphere in the pavilion.

The virtual tour includes ambient sound recorded on location.
