Mandalay |
As in other cities, the market is a busy and colourful place.
|
|
 |
Amapura is one of three former royal capitals south of Mandalay.
|
 |
U Bein's Bridge was built of teak from a palace that was deserted
when the capital shifted from Ava to Amapura.
At 1.2 km long, it is said to be the longest wooden bridge in the
world, or at least the longest one made of teak.

After watching the sun set over the palace moat in Mandalay,
I decided to go to
Pyin U Lwin
in the cool hills east of Mandalay.
