Kyaukhtatgyi Temple

Reclining Buddha
The large reclining Buddha of the Kyaukhtatgyi Temple.

 
North of Kandawgyi Lake is the Kyaukhtatgyi Temple, which houses a very large reclining Buddha. The statue is actually quite recent in construction, and apparently not very important as a religious site, but the craftsmanship is quite exquisite. The image is 70 meters (230 feet) long.
