Traveler impressions of Mandalay
i was told not to go to mandalay because its dirty big city. i am so glad i went. great times visiting places enjoying sunrise etc.
This city is full of nice people, I met a Burmese Chinese and he brought me around for FREE and introduce me with some of the local traditional foods! He is one of the reason I fell in love with Mandalay! Beautiful city with good hearted people!
No preconceived expectations but I had some free time between leisure and work...and spent 6 nights in the area.
You can see everything the city has to offer in two days (Mandalay Hill, Ava, Ammapura, Castle) and it seemed to me that outside of the main attractions there is little to see.
We had only a week in Myanmar and were told not to waste our time in Mandalay. Wrong. We spent three nights and could have spent another.
Mandalay is famous for Ubein and pagodas but it's still under development. Local food is so difficult to eat while Westen or seafood restaurants are rare.
A great cultural place. More of an adventure than a holiday. Prepare to be stared at if you're white! Very funny.
Mandalay was not our favorite city in Myanmar. It may only have been the area we were in, but we found it difficult to get around with very few food options that interested us.
Mandalay is previous capital of myanmar, you can visit and saw many old temple and small state in mandalay, really a herritage town but also is a happening city.
Very easy city to be in. It's laid out in a grid pattern with street numbers, not street names, so it's easy to know how far one street is from another and easy to find your way around.
Not much to do here It's not as romantic as one would have thought But there is plenty to see outside the city limits.
Mandalay has so many sights, both within and outside the city, that one or two days can never be enough to see it all.
Native people here are very friendly and kind. They take their initiative to ask you if you need any help .
some neglected infrstructure. Dusty and noisy(too many motorbikes)but local life interesting and everyone very friendly.
I prefer to explore around Mandalay such as Pwin Oo Lwin, Mingun, Sagaing Hill, Inwa and U-Bein Bridge
Mandalay is busy city and you'd better to explore around Mandalay, such as Pwin Oo Lwin, Mingun, Inwa, Sagaing Hill and U-Bein Bridge.
The city itself is not very attractive and a bit chaotic- but the tourist sights are good- with the exception of Mandalay Hill which was not worth the long up or down! Many of the city temples are nice- and did enjoy the reconstructed palace- but odd that not much else exists in the giant citadel- and was shocked to see the condition of the royal tombs.
Myanmar itself was a fantastic and interesting country. I always think Mandalay - British Raj and imagined old colonial buildings etc and a romantic past.
Not big city and not small. People are still living like 100 years ago but with modern appliances. The history of this city is interesting and many monuments are the witness of it.
Glad I went, but wouldn't spend more than two nights there. Interesting history and culture. Some great sights (royal palace, a variety of pagodas, etc.
Mandalay is a small city with religious interests. There are lots of Pagodas to visit and also a Palace.
There are some good sightseeing attractions, which I enjoyed very much. Because of a full moon holiday, most shops and markets were closed when I was there.
Mandalay can be quite a culture shock at first, but once you are used to the atmosphere it becomes a quaint and pleasant city.
Mandalay itself won't take long to visit. A few shops, artcraft, local life, temples. However, going out can really be good (Pyin OOlwin was beautiful, at 2 hours) and we also did a great river cruise.
We only went to Mandalay hill and U-bein bridge for the sunset. It is difficult to get a taxi on the street compared to Yangon.
Besides the city of Mandalay there are three or four villages within about 30 minutes of the city that are worth seeing.
Mandalay is a pretty simple city, limited development but with an array of historical sights to see both centrally and within driving distance.
moving around is difficult because of insufficient taxis. Taxi's need to be booked from the hotel and a bit expensive compared to Yangon.
Mandalay is worth coming to, the central part of Myanmar and has many of its cultural and historical places to visit.
Mandalay is well worth a visit. It's more laid back than Yangon and has a nice feel about it. Overall, it seems more modern and less run down.

More about Mandalay
The city is served by Mandalay International Airport, a busy travel hub with flights serving most of Myanmar, as well as some international flights to surrounding countries.
Mandalay Palace, also known as the Royal Palace, was built in 1861 but unfortunately destroyed during the Second World War. The palace was since rebuilt using different materials from the original, but it’s a very large and impressive complex that should be explored if only for the glimpse of history it offers. There are several hotels near the royal palace, making it even easier to access this site without having to travel too far to reach it. There are strict rules for entry points and certain expectations of dress and behavior, as some of the exhibits are religious in nature.
Shwenandaw Monasteryis a beautiful building with stunningly intricate wooden carvings and golden details. This monastery was a part of the former palace complex, and has been beautifully maintained. This teak wood structure is a huge draw for many who visit Myanmar, and understandably one of the most visited places not only by devotees of the Buddhist faith, but tourists as well. There are many hotels near Shwenandaw Monastery in northern Mandalay, most of which are conveniently located within a short distance of the attraction and range in different types of accommodation.
