Mawtinzun Pagoda (Burmese: မော်တင်စွန်းဘုရား), officially known as the Mahāmakuṭaraṃsi Hsandawshin Myat Mawtin Pagoda (Burmese: မဟာမကုဋရံသီဆံတော်ရှင် မြတ်မော်တင်စေတီတော်), is a Buddhist pagoda in Ngapudaw Township, Ayeyarwady Region, Myanmar (Burma). The pagoda is located along the Cape of Mawtin on the Andaman Sea.[1] The pagoda is submerged underwater throughout the year, except during the pagoda festival season. Mawtinzun Pagoda Festival is held annually during the traditional Burmese month of Tabaung.[2] In 2015, over 5,000 tourists attended the festival.[2]
