Mandalay & Amarapura Heritage Highlights
Meet your Myanmar guide at your hotel at 8:30 AM and set out on your tour.
Begin your tour with a beautiful panoramic view of Mandalay from Mandalay Hill. Your guide will show you various sites of the city from above.
Marvel at the Kuthodaw Pagoda, a 19th-century structure known for containing the world's biggest book with the Tipitaka etched in stone.
Visit the Shwenandaw or Golden Palace Monastery, the last remaining structure of the old royal palace. The monastery is known for its teak carvings of Buddhist myths, which adorn its walls and roofs, and is built in a traditional Burmese architectural style.
At 10:00 AM, visit the Thaye Zay Station Bazaar, an open market by a railway track. Observe how locals shop and bargain as you indulge in some souvenir shopping.
Visit the Mandalay Royal Palace, a beautiful complex built in the 1990s as a replica of the 19th-century residence of Mandalay's royals.
Proceed to the Mahamuni Temple and admire the statue of the Buddha, supposedly an exact replica created during his lifetime.
Drive to Amarapura and observe local silk and cotton weaving traditions.
Make your way to U Pein Bridge to catch one of the world's most stunning sunset views before returning to your hotel.
