Shwe Yaungwhe Kyaung Monastery ... Biking around Nyaungshwe, Inle Lake











About 1 km out of Nyaungshwe I rolled up on this monastery. The main hall is made almost entirely from wood, from the support beams on up to the lovely wooden rooftop carvings. Metal roofing and some concrete stairs were the exceptions. I believe the wood used for the main body of the building is teak.
