Botahtaung Pagoda in Yangon is a unique Buddhist temple famous for its hollow stupa, allowing visitors to walk through a mirrored maze that enshrines a sacred hair relic of Buddha. It is generally accessible, though guests must remove shoes and dress modestly (shoulders and knees covered) as with all Myanmar pagodas. A visit can be enjoyed solo, but a local guide can enhance the experience with historical and spiritual context. The pagoda is open year-round, with no specific seasonal restrictions, but early mornings or late afternoons are recommended to avoid midday heat and crowds. The approximate cost for foreigners is typically around 5,000-6,000 MMK (a few USD) for entry. A typical visit duration is about 1 to 2 hours, allowing time to explore the interior, the main stupa, and the Bo Bo Gyi shrine. It's a significant cultural and religious site offering a distinctive spiritual experience.
