What The New Age Traveler Says...?
The
Sule Pagoda is one of best landmarks
in Rangoon.
legend says that Sule Pagoda marks the site where King
Ukkalapa held meetings to build Shwedagon
Pagoda. Nobody knows who of this 2
pagodas include the hair given by the Buddha to the two Burmese
merchants,
Tappussa and Ballika.
Kyaik Athok, which means "the pagoda
that contains the hair relic. or
Shwedagon Pagoda?.
