Royal Mandalay






One friend said it was the best place to see in Myanmar. And another friend told me that it was not worth visiting. So I did not really know what to expect in Mandalay. But what I saw, I thoroughly enjoyed! My other friend was right... it is the place not be missed in Myanmar.

Temples mostly painted in white were pretty. Teakwood monasteries are nothing like I have ever seen with its beautiful and intricate carvings. Areas around Mandalay, particularly Mingun and Amarapura, were truly awesome. And I understood why Mandalay was Myanmar's last royal capital!

So if there is only one destination that you can go to in Myanmar, make it Mandalay.
