Where Is the Botataung Pagoda?

Answer:

The Botataung Pagoda (also spelled Botahtaung; literally "1000 military officers") is a famous pagoda located in downtown Yangon, Myanmar (Burma), near the Yangon river.

The pagoda was first built by the Mon around the same time as was Shwedagon Pagoda — according to local belief, over 2500 years ago, and was known as Kyaik-de-att in Mon language. The pagoda is hollow within, and houses what is believed to be a sacred hair of Gautama Buddha.

The Botataung Pagoda was completely destroyed during World War II, and was rebuilt after the war.
