The last temple built at the Minnanthu village at Bagan is Tayok Pye. King Narathihapate (1256-1287) was not able to complete the temple as he fled from the Mongol invaders. Tayok Pye actually means " he who fled" in Myanmar. The temple is large and one of the easiest to climb on, allowing a spendid view over the northern Bagan plain. It servers well as an alternative to the watchtower that the government built. In fact, the view is that fantastic that you might forget to pay attention to the temple itself...
