Day 9
Sightseeing Royal Mandalay
Visit the gold leaf beaters - back-breaking work but highly regarded. As is tradition, men are able to place gold leaves onto the most holy Buddha image of the country: the spectacular Mahamuni that’s been growing in size every year by more and more thick layers of gold.
Enjoy the beauty of the Shwenandaw (Golden Palace) Monastery, a superb example of a traditional wooden building and count the endless stupas of the Kuthodaw Pagoda, consisting of 729 marble slabs engraved with Buddhist scriptures.
