There is also a "doom tower" called, although there is no prominent Buddha in the pagoda, but the corridor is charming. The pagoda was built in 1170 by Narathu, the 45th king of the Bagan Dynasty, and the arch of the Damayaan Temple is uniquely shaped. The light and shadow in the corridor shines through the pagoda door into the interior of the pagoda, like a space-time tunnel.

    The door leading to the Buddha Hall in the corridor has been sealed and cannot be entered. It is said that the inside is where King Naleh was assassinated. The future generations feel more scary, and it has not been built yet, it is sealed. Worth a visit!

    The tower is made of large red bricks, and the bricks are closely combined with the bricks, and the needles cannot be inserted. Although Bagan is a plain, it is very beautiful at sunrise and sunset because there are no tall buildings and many high towers.

    Dama Yangji Buddha is the largest pagoda in the Baganfo Tower group and an outstanding representative of the brick tower architecture. Although Bagan is a plain, the sunrise and sunset are very beautiful because there are no tall buildings and many high tower spires.

    Dama Yangji Tower is the largest pagoda in the Bagan Tower group and is an outstanding representative of the brick tower architecture. This red brick temple can be seen from all directions of Bagan. There is no tower top, it looks like a pyramid from a distance, so it is also called the "pyramid" of Bagan. 🏯 No matter from which perspective, the whole brick tower is very thick, compared to other temples, there is no gold decoration, it seems more vicissitudes, touching every brick, as if you can hear the echo of history.

The arch is unique in shape, the corridor is atmospheric, the carving is abnormally beautiful, the light and shadow are charming, and the windows penetrate into the natural light, illuminating the interior of the pagoda.

    Myanmar is known as the Buddha State, the country of the Vantaa, and the city is the most popular Buddhist temple. If you see so many pagodas, which is the most impressive, I must say that it must be the Dama Yangji pagoda, which also has an alias "Doom Tower", even it is actually a semi-finished product, even the top of the tower is not completed. However, this is such a magnificent decoration, a full-brick tower of the Buddha, which brought me a deep shock. Dama Yangji Tower is the largest pagoda in the Bagan Tower group, and it is also an outstanding representative of the brick tower architecture. You can see this red brick temple from all directions of Bagan. Without a tower, it looks like a pyramid from afar, so it is also called the "pyramid" of Bagan. No matter from which point of view, the whole brick tower is very heavy, compared to other temples, there is no gold decoration, it seems more vicissitudes, touching every brick and stone, as if you can hear the echo of history. This Dama Yangji Buddha is also the best place to take retro portraits. Standing in the middle of the tall cloister, it feels like walking out of the painting. Legend: Dama Yangji Buddha is said to be a cruel tower. The builder, King Narathu (45th king of the Bagan dynasty), was brutal and unusual. Dama Yangji was also built to redeem his father, Alaungsithu, and brother. It is extremely demanding to build the pagoda, if the brick cracks are slightly less tight, it will cut off the craftsman's fingers, so the tower is still placed with the torture equipment of the time. As a result, in 1170, the tower was assassinated before the king was completed, and the construction has been suspended since then, and the top of the tower has not been repaired. The guide also said that it is best to enter the tower at noon when the sun is full, because the tower is actually too many souls and with unfinished atonement mission. ❤ Regarding this pagoda, there are various rumors, so far it has not been repaired on a large scale, experienced the 1975 earthquake, but it is one of the few large pagodas in Bagan area that have been unscathed, nearly 900 years of history, and still firmly standing on the Bagan Plain. Perhaps the monarch who built him was a cruel king, but history and rumors will eventually fade away with the years. Those who have done their own good will say that the picturesque scenery and peace are the best merit. Travel guide information: Tickets are included in the Bagan attraction pass, the pass price is $20, you can buy when entering Bagan City.

    This tower, built in the 12th century, also has the city wall, is really big! Its highlight is the legend of Emperor Narathu who killed his father and brother and his wife, but since the rubble is filled with the corridor, there is nothing to see, only fantasy! :) Another focus is the west wing, rare on the temple of Bagan, and side by side with Sakya Buddha and Maitreya Buddha! ! !

    Dama Yangji Tower is the largest building in the Baganfo Tower group, all built by red brick, built in 1167-1170, during the reign of the 45th king of the Bagan Dynasty Nalehu, it is said that Nalehu killed his father and brother in order to usurp the throne, and built this temple for confession. But the pagoda was not finished and he was murdered, so there was no spire. There were no other monuments around Dama Yangji. The tower is unique in shape, exquisite craftsmanship and strong structure. The arch of the tower is three-layered, the door is finely carved, and the tower has a corridor. The lighting of the windows at the top of the corridor makes the interior visible.
