It looks beautiful, @Derick1121 .
Is it true that it’s the most sacred Buddhist pagoda in Myanmar? Can you tell us more about it containing relics of the four previous Buddhas of the present kalpa? I don’t know much about that and I’m interested of the stories of such beautiful architectural heritage.

About the pagoda:
The pagoda was built in the early 6th and 10th centuries built by Okkalapa king and the buddha’s hair was buried under the pagoda. It started from India the two famous traders were trading when they met the lord buddha. When they met the Buddha they asked something to respect the buddha. So the buddha took some of his hair and gave to them. The two traders were so happy the told the king to build the pagoda on the buddha’s hair. The king agreed and built the Shwe Dagon pagoda. That’s how the Pagoda became.( If you want to know more you can come to Myanmar and learn about our religion. I don’t know that much I am just 11 years old)
I also want to work at google when I get older. That’s my goal when I go to collage.
