Ideal vantage point
This small pagoda dates from about 162 AD. Supposedly Bupaya is the oldest building in Bagan, built by Thamuddarit, the founder of Bagan. Bupaya means gourd-shaped pagoda. It's an ideal vantage point with river views. Despite being a small pagoda, it's visited by the Burmese who come to Bagan for sightseeing. It had to be rebuilt after the earthquake of 1975.
