Full day - Mandalay City
TOUR OPERATES: Full Day
Our guide will pick you up at the hotel and we enjoy a morning stroll through the lively Zegyo Market in the heart of the city to experience authentic local life. We continue to the Artisan Quarters, where some of the oldest craftsmanship are showcased. We observe the process of pounding gold leaf, detailing teakwood carvings and embroidering Myanmar tapestry dating back to the last dynasty of Myanmar. We also see how bronze and marble Buddha statues are carved, cast and moulded. Next, we proceed to major highlights of the city: the sacred Mahamuni Pagoda, housing one of the most significant Buddha images covered in several tons of gold leaf and the crown prize in wars between competing kingdoms; the Golden Palace Monastery, the sole surviving Royal Palace building in Mandalay, offering a glimpse of the original style and architecture of the Myanmar royals; and lastly, the Kuthodaw Pagoda, a compound housing Buddha’s teachings carved in the sacred Pali script on stone tablets and regarded as the world’s largest book in terms of surface area. We end our day with sunset panoramic views over city skyline on Mandalay Hill, the highest point of the city.
