Payagyi Paya

Once marking one of Thayekhittaya’s four corners, this bulbous, towering pagoda probably dates from the 5th or 6th century AD. Three terraces encircle the slightly swollen, breast-like structure from its base; women are not allowed on the upper one. The modern hti (pinnacle of the stupa) is lit up at night; it lies a half-mile east of the bus station.
