Mandalay

About Mandalay

Mandalay, Myanmar's second-largest city with roughly 1.2 million inhabitants, is widely regarded as the cultural and religious heart of the country. Situated on the Irrawaddy River, it was the last royal capital of Burma before British colonisation. Pagodas and stupas are defining features of the cityscape, while workshops in the traditional craftsmen's quarter offer a close look at Buddha statues being carved by hand. All Saints' Anglican Church stands as a reminder of the colonial era. The city serves as a well-connected base for exploring central Myanmar's history and culture.
