Shwe Kyi Myin Monastery
The Myanmar chronicles say that this Pagoda was
built by Min Shin Saw, the eldest son of King Alaung
Sithu of Bagan(A.D 1112-1167). Having fallen into
disfavor of his royal father Min Shin Saw was exiled
to Htun Ton Pu Tet, east of Mandalay. There he
resided in state, doing many works of social and
religious merits such as repairing old religious
monuments and monasteries, building new ones
including Shwe Kyi Myin Pagoda, constructing the
Aung Pin Le and Ta Mok So lakes to supply water for
cultivation by a system of irrigation channels.
