Escape the crowds by venturing across to the west bank of the Pathein River and strolling through the village to find this attractive pagoda complex with a small golden zedi, a hall of standing buddhas and other colourfully painted statuary. Look out for the small shrine sheltering a gilded pig.

The foot-passenger ferry here leaves from near the Chinese Temple on Strand Rd, just south of The First Hotel.
