Mrauk Oo's treasures: Shite Thaung ...

This  temple located on Pokhaung hill looks a bit like a fortress without cannons ...
... and is surrounded by 33 (Ididn't count) smaller stupas
Did you see the guys working on the roof of the Tazaung (the prayer hall)?
'Safety' is not a matter of concern when you work on a temple's roof as next life will be a lot better!
