Kuthodaw Paya
is site of the world's largest book, located at the foot of Mandalay Hill. Built by King Mingdon in the 1800s, 729 white stupas within the complex contain the complete text of the Tripitaka, Theravada Buddhism's most sacred text. (Wiki)
Kyauk Taw Gyi Pagoda
Contains an image of the Buddha carved out of a single block of marble from the Sagyin Hill. The figures of 80 arahats or the disciples of the Buddha, are arranged around the central shrine, 20 on each side. The carving of the image was completed in 1865. (Wiki)
At the peak of Mandalay Hill for sunset.
One of the shopping centers in Mandalay, which was sadly, not very busy with many empty shops.
