Mingong Ancient City now only has three attractions to see, Mingong Buddha Pagoda, Big Bell and White Temple. It is said that Meng Yun, the king of the Gongbang Dynasty, wanted his queen to ascend the tower to worship the distant Ganfo Tower group, and deliberately built this huge tower in Mingong on the other side of Mandalay, planning three floors, 150 meters tall, the king personally supervised the construction. If built, it will become the world's largest pagoda, but the man who built it will die after a third of the construction. The huge project eventually gave up, leaving only one of the world's largest brick buildings and two giant stone lions, Cinte. The earthquake behind, even Sinte only left the base standing.
