Legyun Simee Pagoda

Legyun Simee Pagoda was built atop the mountain in Myeik, Taninthayi Division, by Sayadaw Ashin Zagaya, enshrining three Buddha relics accompanying gold, silver and bronze replicas, in a structure 18 cubits wide and 32 cubits high, in Sakarit 1093.

In 1123, the pagoda was rebuilt by Mayor Udain Kyaw appointed by King Naungdawgyi, son of Alaung Mintaya U Aung Zeya. It was consecrated by Vice-Mayor Khemaraza in 1130.

It was dubbed a Buddha ordination Hall in 1140 by U Zagara. In 1147, King Bodaw sent five Sanghas with a set of tipitakas who then preordained the hall on the mountain. That very year U Zaraga extended the pagoda and it was since known as Legyun Simee Pagoda. It is also known as the golden ordination hall pagoda.
