Ca. 100 miles far from Myintkyina. Approx. Five hours drive up to Indawgyi. This festival is held yearly for ten days. One intriguing fact is that two sandbanks are washed up by the waves before the festival begins so that people can walk from the bank to the pagoda. People believe that one is for human use and the other is a passage for the gods. These two sandbanks disappear into the lake shortly after the festival. % g) ?3 N" W$ q l7 {: W8 `7 L' `Zalun Pyidawpyan Image FestivalDate: 4-Mar 10-Martvb now,tvbnow,bttvb6 n% K.
