Kyauktan Ye Le Pagoda (Burmese:ကျောက်တန်းရေလယ်ဘုရား[tɕaʊʔtáɰ̃jèlɛ̀pʰəjá], formallyKyaikhmawwun Yele Pagoda (ကျိုက်မှော်ဝန်းရေလယ်စေတီတော်) is aBuddhist pagoda located inKyauktan Township,Yangon Region, on a small island in Hmaw Wun Creek, a tributary ofYangon River. The pagoda was built with manyBuddha's relics inside.
Two things are noticed, the water level never rises to cover the pagoda, and there will always be enough room for everyone who come to visit the pagoda (meaning, even the pagoda has small room for visitors somehow it is always balanced out between those who is coming & leaving).
It is approximately 20 kilometres (12 mi) south of Thanlyin. This unusual temple was built under KingBawgasena in the third century BCE.[1] The temple hosts an impressive collection of paintings, sculptures and other fine demonstrations of BurmeseBuddhist artwork and craftsmanship.
