Mandalay Tourist Attractions

Let’s Start Planning My Trip

1. Mandalay RoyaL Palace

The Mandalay RoyaL Palace, or the Myan Nan San Kyaw was the first palace in Mandalay built by King Mindon. King Mindon moved his capital from Amarapura to Mandalay for the astronomical calculations and favorable omens. The whole palace was ruined by the air raid of the British forces against Japanese during World War II. And then it was been restored and renovated to the original structure according to the photographs and pictures.

The reconstruction of Royal Palace contains over 40 timber buildings built to resemble the 1850s originals. And there is a multi-layered pyramid above the main throne room and a minor culture museum exhibiting the exquisite, glass-pillared four-poster bed. Foreign visitors are required to access the palace from the east gate.

Opening Hours: Daily from 07:30-17:00

2. Mandalay Hill

Situated at the north-east corner of the Mandalay Royal Palace, the Mandalay Hill enjoys a length of about 167 meters. There is a famous Buddha Image on the hill, the Standing Lord Buddha who climbed the hill and made a prophecy that a great city would be established at the foot of the hill. The image was built by King Mindon and damaged by fire after the King’s death. Then a new image was restored with a height of 8.22 meters.

Visitors can get to the top of the hill by bus or by foot. There are two one-way bus roads up to the top. One is up to the top from the west and another is down to the foot from south. There are two one-way bus roads up to the top of the Mandalay Hill, one to the west of the Great Lions statues winding up the way and the other at the southern passageway going down. Four stairways are available up to the top, one is from the north, one is from the west and two are from the south.
