Itinerary
-
A Day In Mandalay & Mingun
- Pick up by your Mandalay tour guide from your hotel and transfer you to the jetty.
- En route, stop at the Zeycho vegetable market.
- Board your boat and travel upstream on the Ayeyarwady River from Mandalay to Mingun (11 km, about one hour). The river here is always busy as small long tail boats, bamboo rafts and ferries carry goods up and down the river.
- Visit the Mingun Bell, which at 87 tons is the world’s largest intact bronze bell.
- Continue to the beautiful Hsinbyume (Mya thein Tan) Paya and the unfinished, mighty Mingun Pagoda (built to be the world’s biggest) before returning downriver to Mandalay.
- In the afternoon, go to Kuthodaw Pagoda, where the Theravada Buddhist scriptures are inscribed on 729 marble slabs, giving rise to its nickname ‘the world’s largest book’.
- Next, visit the Shwenandaw Monastery, the only Royal Palace building to survive the World War II bombing. At the top of the Mandalay Hill lie glittering glass-studded temple walls, which reflect the evening glow as you watch the sunset.
