Htilominlo Temple was built by King Nantaungmya in 1218. He built it on this spot because this was where he was chosen to succeed to the throne. He was chosen over his 5 brothers by an old tradition of seeing which way a white umbrella would tilt. It tilted towards him and so it was. Gorgeous murals with faded colors. The temple has steep little alcoves that you could crawl up and look out windows into the plains. We met some friends who showed us these little spots.. and then sold us some postcards!
