- Back in time at the Mingun Pagoda
One place we wished we would have had more time to see is Mingun Pagoda. This is located across the Irrawaddy river, which is about a 90-minute drive out of town. The almost square shaped pagoda is one of a kind. It can be a bit crowded at the entrance but if you walk around it you will be the only one there.
When you’re here, have a lunch at the relaxed, river located ‘The Garden Cafe’.
- In the clouds at Hsinbyume Pagoda
Near to the Mingun Pagoda is the beautiful white Hsinbyume Pagoda. You can walk up the stairs and explore every level of the pagoda. The Pagoda is not big shouldn’t be missed while visiting Mandalay.
- World’s largest book at Kuthodaw Pagoda
The size of this area is impressive. The Kuthodaw Pagoda holds world’s largest book and is surrounded by an insane amount of small white pagodas. Take at least 1 hour looking around in this area.
- Shwenandaw Monastery
The beautiful wooden details in the monastery are worth a visit. It small so you don’t need a lot of time and it’s a quick stop from Mandalay Palace.
- Dinner @ Mingalarbar
Close your Mandalay trip by having a Mandalay style food experience. A dinner at Mingalarbar is highly recommended to try some of their best dishes.
