Mandalay is neither an attractive nor a pleasant city at first sight: a hot, modern, bustling grid of endless streets lined up with dull concrete blocks. Nevertheless, Mandalay abounds with amazing sites, and you will need at least 3 days if you want to visit those.
Sagaing - Golden and white stupas that shimmer in the sunlight on the green hill
Mingun Paya - Climb atop this massive temple in Mingun after a pleasant ride on the Ayeyarwady River
Mahamuni Paya - Observe faithful Buddhists stick small gold leaves on the 13 feet tall, puffy Buddha Statue…
Shwe In Bin Kyaung - One of the most beautiful and peaceful pagodas in Myanmar with beautiful and delicate engravings, exclusively made of teak wood
Sandamuni Paya & Kuthodaw Paya - “The World’s Largest Book” - Probably not an exaggeration... White and golden stupas as far as you can see, containing 729 text-inscribed marble slabs
U-Bein Bridge over Taungthaman Lake in Amapura - Yes, this is the longest Teak-Wood Bridge in the world!
