The scale of Kuthodaw Pagoda is best appreciated when viewed from Mandalay Hill.

Each stupa at Kuthodaw Pagoda houses a stone tablet with text from the Buddhist book.

The World’s Largest Book

Next up was Kuthodaw Pagoda. This one was interesting. It houses the world’s largest book - over 1,700 identical whitewashed stupas, each one containing a big stone tablet with teachings from the Buddha from one book. This was a fascinating place to explore, even though the stupas themselves were out of bounds. This temple was so large and all its stupas were so uniform that I entered through one place and exited through another, and I lost my bearings for my next stop, Mandalay Hill.
