Its a massive incomplete stupa (Mingun Pagoda) and the second-largest bell in the world are situated in Mingun, close to Amarapura, Myanmar. Myanmar is a Buddhist nation with a lot of lovely places to visit, particularly its spiritually inspired architecture. The breathtakingly stunning and imposing Mingun Pahtodawgy stupa still stands in the village of Mingun. Despite being a ruin, Mandalay City has turned this area into a very popular destination.
In fact, Mingun Pahtodawgyi is the largest brick pile in the world and is a rather nice mound of bricks. Originally designed to be a 500-foot-tall stupa, or a mound containing Buddhist relics, Pahtodawgyi is nonetheless an impressive building even though it is not yet complete. With dimensions of 450 by 450 feet and a height of 172 feet, it is much larger than the surrounding terrain and could have easily surpassed the Great Pyramid of Giza in size had King Bodawpaya completed construction.
