It’s one of the oldest and from all appearances, richest of the many pagodas in Sagaing, Myanmar. Sitting high on top of Nga-pha Hill(Sagaing Hill), one of dozens of hilltops in the Sagaing Hills, it was built in 1312 by Minister Pon Nya, after whom it’s named. It was called Swan Oo Pone Nya Shin Pagoda.
