Mandalay, Myanmar's last royal capital, where Mandalay Hill overlooks the Irrawaddy and the U Bein Bridge sunset is unforgettable.

📍 Destination Overview

Mandalay, on Myanmar's Irrawaddy River, was the last capital of the Konbaung Dynasty and the country's second city. Mandalay Hill's pagoda watches the city and palace within moat and walls, while Kuthodaw holds 729 marble inscriptions, the world's largest book. U Bein Bridge, the longest teak span, is unforgettable at sunset — a land of deep culture.
