Yadana Hsemee Pagoda Complex
ရတနာဆီမီး
Moss-covered brick pagoda ruins in the old town of Inwa, where weathered Buddha statues sit among shade trees and rice fields with a timeless atmosphere.
The Yadana Hsemee Pagoda Complex is a group of 19th-century brick pagodas and shrine ruins in Inwa’s ancient site. Many of the pagodas are badly damaged and covered with moss and weeds. Several seated Buddhas sit in the open among the broken walls, framed by rice fields and palm trees in an atmospheric scene. It is one of the most popular spots in Inwa for photographers. It is usually a brief stop on the Inwa horse-cart circuit. Some buildings were damaged in the March 2025 earthquake, so check current opening arrangements locally.
