The number of temple towers in Myanmar can make the world's tourists feel shocked. For outsiders, it is difficult to remember their names one by one in the face of almost identical temple towers. But there is an "alternative" Mingong stupa, whose unique "castle" structure has made many people deeply remember it. Myanmar is a country with a long history. The glory of the past has left many ancient buildings on its land, attracting people from all over the world to experience its cultural charm. However, you can know that at that time, as the most powerful Minggong dynasty, it was regrettable to leave a "unfinished building". Mingon Pagoda is an unfinished palace built by King Mengyun of Myanmar for his queen and one of the largest brick buildings in the world. However, despite the fact that the Gongbang Dynasty was rich and powerful, this huge pagoda was terminated by the death of the king. However, this magnificent project, built with bricks and only 50 meters high, is still the largest ancient pagoda in Myanmar, and still exudes the domineering power of the royal pagoda.

Although Mingon is the farthest town in the four ancient cities of Mandalay, it is famous for its huge clock. Every day, visitors to this world's largest clock have become Mingon, and even Mandalay's biggest attraction. The Mingong Big Bell has undoubtedly become the brightest "one star" in the ancient city of Mingon. Sometimes the incompleteness is also a different kind of beauty. As the most classic millennium endless project of Mingong-Minggong Stupa, it is the famous monument of Mingong Dazhong. And it is a world clock that is still in use so far. Minggong big clock, 8 meters high, 5 meters in diameter and weighs 90 tons. Originally planned to be placed on the Minggong Pagoda after the repair, but because the stupa was not completed, it had to be hung in the pavilion next to it. Later, an earthquake, the wooden beam of the wall clock was damaged, the big clock was intact. It was preserved, but it was quietly on the ground for decades. Mingong Dazhong, once the largest clock in the world still in use, has a history of more than two hundred years. Although the world's first laurel has been replaced by the good luck bell of China's Henan Pingdingshan weighing 116 tons. Even today, even if it is rusty, it still fulfills the mission of the bell, and the bell-talker of the thick bells rings the good wishes of the bell.

"Mingong Big Bell" used to be the world's largest clock. The big clock is 8 meters high, the largest diameter is 5 meters, and it weighs 90.55 tons. It was originally intended to be placed in the Mingong Pagoda. The king saw that the pagoda could not be completed on time. The bell hangs in the pavilion. According to the locals, two large ships were activated when the big clock was transported. More than two hundred years of mottled years have added endless vicissitudes to Mingong Dazhong, which also carries the legendary story of the ancient city of Mingon.

This green town is surrounded by large farmland and woods. Next to the town, the beautiful golden stupa is located in the temple. The local villagers often drive a small boat and pass by the river. On the banks of the river, young people gather and play football. A harmonious and peaceful picture. Griwa Bridge, quietly located above the river. The beautiful golden stupa stands on the top of the mountain and guards the entire city. The scenery of the Sangwon village is covered with clouds and the scenery is very charming.
