Bupaya Pagoda is recognizable by its distinctive, golden, bulbous dome that rises above a series of crenellated terraces on the bank of the Irrawaddy River. The name itself combines the Burmese words for gourd and pagoda, describing the unique shape of the structure. It has served as a visible landmark for river navigators for centuries, marking a sharp bend in the water.
