All About Mingun Bell: Myanmar's 90-Ton Wonder That Still Rings Today

Tucked away in the serene town of Mingun, Myanmar, lies a monumental treasure — the Mingun Bell, said to be the world’s largest ringing bell. Weighing an astonishing 90 tons, it was cast in 1808 by order of King Bodawpaya. It was originally intended to complement the unfinished Mingun Pahtodawgyi, a monumental stupa that remains incomplete to this day.. Today, visitors from around the globe come to experience its grandeur, not just as a historical marvel, but as a resonant piece of living history, still capable of producing a deep, soul-stirring tone when struck.
