Mandalay Palace Review

A nice place to see a few of the many temples in Mandalay. Very calm a quiet. Would recommend. #Mandalay #travel #travelphotography #temples

Without question, the sunrise in Mandalay is the best in the world. Seeing the hot air balloons on top of the temples is amazing. A must do once in your life

Seeing many ancient buildings, there are indeed very moving buildings, such as the Egyptian pyramids, the Taj Mahal in India, and Angkor Wat in Cambodia, but no imagination has been thoughtfully prepared for the Shwedagon Pagoda in Myanmar, and I really didn't expect that the Shwedagon Pagoda is so great.

The glittering Royal Palace of Mandalay was rebuilt in the 1930s. There are over 40 wooden buildings on a large scale, built according to the patterns of the 1850s. You can climb up the winding wooden wall and have a panoramic view of the tower. Most notable is the high-rise gold-plated multi-layered pyramid structure above the main hall, which displays many royal appliances. The other halls are empty. There is a small cultural museum at the west end of the palace, which shows the glass pillar bed of King Xipao. Foreigners can only buy K10000 package tickets from Dongmen. Soldiers were guarding the doorway and bicyclists had to get off and push their carts.

In fact, the Mandalay Palace, which is now open to tourists, is only a small piece, and it is finished to walk around. A large area of the palace is still occupied by the Burmese army. And the current palace, inside and outside, was rebuilt more than 20 years ago. The old city was blown up by the Allies in World War II, and there was almost no relics left. Now there are more than 100 temples and temples in the palace walls, and the whole complex is almost wooden, carved and magnificent. The building is mainly red and gold, with white decoration, dazzling and magnificent from a distance, and looking at the sculpture gallery columns, exquisite and exquisite. The palace is still built from the precious tree species unique to Myanmar, but because the building is too new, there is no sense of vicissitudes of Uben Bridge and Baojiaya Temple; Also because of the popularity, walking in such a complex, but not feeling the royal style and majesty climb up the 120 stairs, will be a bird's eye view of the entire palace, some people say that you can still see the city, that is more difficult. Standing on the high watchtower, the wind blowing coolly, it is quite pleasant.

Mandalay Palace is the palace of Myanmar's Gongbang Dynasty. It was built in 1857. The palace is square, with red brick walls and moats outside the walls. There are 104 temples in the palace, the whole building is wooden structure, which was destroyed in the Second World War. In 1989, the Myanmar government began to rebuild based on historical pictures and materials, restoring 89 major halls, completed in September 1996 and opened to the public. It covers an area of 4 million square meters and is the world's largest palace. There are two places to visit in Mandalay Palace, one is a watchtower of 33 meters high, and after climbing one hundred and twenty stairs, you will have a bird's eye view of the entire Palace and Mandalay city. Another must-see is the museum, where the Burmese king's used items, small amounts of furniture, photos, etc. are displayed, the only place to learn about Myanmar's history. There are also many buildings in the palace, there are emperors in the upper court to summon the palaces of the public servants, the living room, and the large harem where the concubine lives. The golden tiles and red walls are all Myanmar style, but unfortunately there are no furniture. The Museum of Ancient Myanmar Culture exhibits costumes, supplies and Buddhist art from the court.
