Myanmar- Yangon: Sule, Botataung and Shwedagon Paya

The three most impressive pagodas (paya) in Yangoon are Sule Paya, Botataung and, of course, Shwedagon Paya. They are fabulous.
If Sule Pagoda is smaller, it gives you a more intimate feeling of the cultural and religious habits of Burmese and it might simply be the coolest roundabout we have ever seen! 
Botataung Pagoda is located at the riverside, has a pond and is quite kitsch. 

Shwedagon Pagoda is by far the most impressive one we have encountered on our trip in the last 4 month. The site in itself is huge, a lot of people mingle around and still- it all seems so calm.
