Sein Yaung Chi Pagoda

Sein Yaung Chi Pagoda has a wonderful nickname signifying a special quality in the structure. It is also fondly known as the ‘Diamond Reflections’ because the green tiles and mirrored scales covering the body of the structure of the pagoda reflect the sunlight. This makes the pagoda look stunning during the day. The glass motif which adorns the building on the outside also extends inside the pagoda where several small and medium sized Buddha images keep a watchful eye.
