The incredible Mingun Bell is the world's largest ringing bell; it stands approximately 13 feet (4 m) tall and weighs about 180,000 pounds (90 tons). You’re allowed to get up close to the bell, and it’s so gigantic that you can crawl under or even inside it! On the Irrawaddy riverside, located near this legendary bronze bell, you can find the unfinished Mingun Pagoda -- an important historic site in Myanmar. Originally, the pagoda was designed to be the largest in the country and to house important Buddha relics. Its construction halted for various reasons, leaving only the bottom third complete. Today, the pagoda is an imposing stone edifice with kelly- green foliage growing out of its deep cracks.
