Temple on the hill





Hi, welcome everyone.


This photo was taken in January 2009 at Taunggyi, Myanmar. The city is built at an elevation of 4,790 feet above sea level. The name Taunggyi means "big mountain" in the Burmese language. Taungyyi is in fact quite progressive & perhaps the most beautiful city of Burma.


The temple is situated on top of the Taunggyi's mountain, probably at about 5500 feet from sea level. But it is accessible by car despite its high altitude. One can feel a very cool and fresh breeze from the top and enjoy the scenery of the sprawling city of Taungyyi. The scenery up there is awesome and perfect for landscape photography.


The distinctness is the built of the temple, which is different from those at the lower part of Myanmar.
