MANDALAY Brochure
MANDALAY Ministry of Hotels & Tourism Office No.33 | Nay Pyi Taw +95 (0)67 4061 30 +95 (0)67 4064 54 [email protected] HIGHLIGHTS Absorb the enchanting atmosphere of these inspiring places Royal City Mandalay was the last royal city before Myanmar was colonised by Britain in 1885. The moat, palace walls with city gates and wooden pavilions give an imposing and evocative impression of the royal era. Within the palace grounds there is a museum and replica model of Mandalay Palace. The city, the second largest in the whole country, is a thriving economic hub in Upper Myanmar. Still considered the centre of Burmese culture, it boasts many important pagodas and monasteries and is also a key place of spiritual pilgrimage. Must visits include the stunning 4m-high Maha Myat Muni Buddha image, located at the pagoda bearing the same name, and Kuthodaw Pagoda. The latter (built by King Mindon Min at the same time as the nearby Royal Palace) features a gilded pagoda, several pavilions and hundreds of shrines. It also houses 729 marble slabs inscribed with Buddhist teachings and is thus dubbed the world’s largest book. On the Water Mandalay’s intimate proximity to the Ayeyarwady River means no visit to the city is complete without spending some time on the water. Made famous by Rudyard Kipling’s poem, the country’s largest river, flowing from north to south through its lands, is also referred to as “The Road to Mandalay”. A river cruise is a wonderful way to visit the former royal city and discover the surrounding areas.
