The building of the Maha Ant Htoo Kan Thar pagoda has a history of its own. Originally, three marble Buddha images, sculpted in Mandalay, were transferred to their planned destination in China. On this journey, one of the Buddha statues fell from the lorry and could not be reloaded due to its weight. After many attempts, this image was finally left behind. Here, a pagoda was built for the travelers to pay homage.
