Mandalay

We spent two days in the Mandalay area, taking in a few sights in the actual city: the Gold Pounder's District and the Mahamuni Buddha Temple before cycling out to Inwa and Amarapura. Both are former capitals that are popular daytrips from Mandalay. Inwa is home to a few impressive sights but was mainly just nice to bike around as it was almost entirely car-free. Amarapura's major draw is U Bein Bridge, the longest teak bridge in the world at 1.2km in length.
