ON THE WAY TO SEE RECLINING BUDDHA WHO SHOULD WE SEE BUT MICHAEL MANTZ RECLINING ON THE BACK SEAT AS HE WAS SO TIRED AND SLEEPY!

ENTRANCE TO RECLINING BUDDHA
UNLIKE OTHER TEMPLES, THIS ONE IS FREE
LIST OF DOS AND DON'TS
I WAS SHOCKED AT METAL SCAFFOLDING WHICH RUINS THE GLORIOUS VISION
THE BUDDHA AND BUILDING WERE BUILT IN 1966 SO IS RELATIVELY NEW AND THEY COULD HAVE BUILT IT WITHOUT THE METAL STRUCTURE
DANIEL MANTZ STANDS IN FRONT OF RECLINING BUDDHA BUILT TO REPLACE THE OLD ONE MADE IN 1907 BY SIR HPO THAR
CHAUK HTAT GYI IS REFERRED TO AS 6-STOREY HIGH BUDDHA IMAGE JUST AS THE SITTING BUDDHA ACROSS THE ROAD IS CALLED 5-STOREY BUDDHA! SO CHARMING AS EACH IS NAMED AFTER THE HEIGHT OF THE BUILDING!
THE RECLINING BUDDHA IS 65 METRES LONG AND 16 METRES HIGH
ONCE NEAR THE METAL SCAFFOLDING CANNOT BE SEEN
HERE CAN SEE A BIT!
THIS IS A PARTICULARLY BEAUTIFUL BUDDHA
WHITE FACE, RED LIPS, BLUE EYES, GOLD ROBES AND RED TOENAILS
PERFECT!
I LOVE BUDDHA
