Our first stop is the Mahamuni Pagoda, housing a cherished Buddha covered with gold leaves, but only men can take on this responsibility. Next to the pagoda is the bustling marble street, where families skillfully carve marble and produce bronze sculptures.
After that, we head to Amarapura, where the legendary U-Bein Bridge stands tall, it was crafted in 1782 during the reign of Amarapura's Royal Capital. This bridge spans 1.2 kilometers across Taungthaman Lake and boasts breathtaking views, particularly during sunrise and sunset, it attracts many visitors for admiration.
Your short trip continues to the Mahagandayon Monastery - a place for over a thousand young monks and a center of religious practices. You have the chance to observe the monks line up for lunch. It will be a unique and memorable experience when traveling in Myanmar!
We can stop at some workshops about traditional crafts, encompassing gold leaf production, intricate wood carvings, tapestries, and marionettes. Mandalay is famous for this, so you can get into the regional craft.

This fascinating pagoda includes 729 marble with Buddhist teachings or guiding souls to the next life. Nearby is the Shwenandaw Monastery - the only relic of the 19th-century Royal Palace.
