Mandalay
As the last royal capital of the Burmese Kingdom, Mandalay is its religious heart, possessing some of the country’s most beautiful pagodas, including the highly revered Mahamuni Paya, which holds a famous Buddha-image covered in gold leaf.
With wide avenues and a fast paced way of life, modern Mandalay represents 'new Burma' whilst the very name evokes images of a Burma of years gone by. The Mahagandayone Monastery where more than a thousand monks and novices live and study the doctrine of Buddha, offers a fascinating insight into the Burmese branch of Buddhism. An additional attraction is the world’s largest book – 729 marble slabs of Buddhist scriptures at Kuthodaw Pagoda. Famous for its arts and crafts, Mandalay is a good place to buy everything from traditional wooden puppets to hand-woven fabrics.
