U Bein’s Bridge, the longest teak footbridge is spanning in the width of the Taungthaman Lake. This winding which has 1.2 kilometre marvel long is 200 years olds. However, U Bein Bridge is still sturdy, in particular, a testament to the strength of the teak used in its construction.

The Mahamuni Buddha Temple was established in 1785 to house the Mahamuni Buddha statue. According to local belief this huge bronze statue, 3.82 metres tall and weighing around 6.5 tons, is one of only five likenesses of the Lord Buddha created in his lifetime which makes it the most important Buddha image in Myanmar and quite possibly South East Asia as a whole.
The monastery that is also known as the Shwenandaw Kyaung is a very finely carved teak wooden monastery building just outside the Mandalay Royal Palace, on the same grounds as the Atumashi Monastery. The monastery is also called the Golden Palace Monastery, because it used to be part of the Mandalay Royal Palace and was completely gilded.
Built in 1857, the Atumashi Kyaung was one of the last religious construction projects of King Mindon. The name means 'Incomparable Monastery'. The Atumashi is an example of traditional Burmese monastic construction: it features a masonry base with a wooden building on top. However, instead of a multi-roofed design, it has graduated rectangular terraces.
