Traveler reviews
Jeffery Hyde
★★★★★2 years agoThis temple, in memory of King Le Thai To, sits across the road from the lake. Free admission and worth a look.
Khant Soe Naung
★★★★★2 months agoA beautiful, hidden gem of a temple right by the lake. It’s on the smaller side but incredibly peaceful. The perfect spot to just sit, relax, and take it all in.
