You will be amazed by Mandalay – the city of the last Burmese kings – by the abundance of beautiful buildings and sights! Mandalay is over a hundred years old, is located about four hundred miles north of Yangoon and is the capital of Upper Burma.


For the Burmese, Mandalay represents Burma’s past and present and is considered the center of Burmese culture and teaching. For example, the Shwenandaw Monastery, the Mahamuni Temple, one of the most important religious buildings in the city, which houses the famous Gold Buddha in its interior, and the Kuthodwa Pagoda, with the 729 stone tablets in which the teaching of Buddhism is carved, are worth seeing. The best way to enjoy the sunset is on the Mandalay Hill, from which you have a beautiful view over the city.
