Shin-bin Nan-kaing Pagoda
Shin Bin Nan Kaing Pagoda is situated near Htonbo
Ward in Sagaing. It was built by minister Kyan
Thaing, who had to look after Shwe Ain Si, the
daughter of King Kyansittha, in 420.
But in another version, it was said to be built
by Minister Kyan Thaing, right-hand sage to King
Sawlu in 421. It was officially named Yan Aung Myin
Pagoda but ever since its foundation on Nan-kaing
hill, it has been known as Shin-bin Nan-kaing
Pagoda. Near it is a bronze staue of Buddha that is
the highest in Myanmar, cast under the leadership of
Sayadaw U Zanainda of Zabu Mingala Monastery.
