The whole building was originally in the palace, but because his successor avoided the death of King Mindong, the whole was moved to its current location and became a monastery. The original site was in the palace of Mandalay, and the Gongbang dynasty Mindong king was here, and his son avoided the taboo, so the whole building was relocated here.

    In the Golden Palace Monastery, you can overlook the Peacock Temple opposite, the Monastery is a pure teak building, the bottom is supported by hundreds of teak columns, forming a suspended overhead chassis, which is conducive to ventilation and moisture. The first floor is the main hall, with a wooden corridor on the periphery.

    The black teak building is very old, and you can really hear the sound of wood squeaking when you walk on it. The wooden structure of the Golden Palace Monastery is refreshing, and the exquisite wood carvings on the doors and windows add a different style to the whole building.

    The whole building was initially painted with gold paint, so it was called the "Golden Palace". With the passage of time, the gold lacquer fell off, only the Buddha statues in the hall were repaired or covered with gold. It is worth mentioning that only men can enter the area near the Buddha statue in the hall, while women are prohibited. Teak Temple consists of three layers with square top and double eaves. Hundreds of teak pillars at the bottom of the building support to form a suspended elevated chassis, which is conducive to ventilation and moisture. The first floor is the main hall, surrounded by a wooden corridor. Close up two layers step by step, with four cornices on the periphery. Wood carvings overlap one another and have a strong three-dimensional feeling. Every corner of the building is decorated with complex decorations and sculptures, making this temple, which has existed for more than 150 years, a classic of wooden architecture.

    Privately speaking, the monastery is Shwenandaw Kyaung, also known as Golden Palace Monastery. But what about gold? Not necessarily. But this teak temple is beautiful. You can visit it by the way near the palace.

    The golden palace in Myanmar is a very famous monastery, and there is a white monastery opposite it is also very famous. Visitors who come here will visit two temples at the same time. There are not many monasteries made of pure teak in Myanmar, so the things are rare and expensive, and it is worth visiting by tourists.

    1. Next to the unique monastery, it does not look golden at all, nor palaces at all; 2. But here is a true original ancient teak temple (late Qing Dynasty), the only wood-carved temple that survived World War II; 3. Relief, high relief, round sculpture have their own characteristics, Buddhist scriptures, Buddhist statues and Buddhist statues are unique; 4. There are opportunities in the backyard to encounter the work of cultural relics conservation. Personnel, all girls, open-air work in hot weather, praise for them! _____________ 5. Tickets are included in the Datong Ticket (10000 kyat).
