Mandalay's name also comes from the highest mountain in the city, Mount Mandalay, which passed by when Sakyamuni preached Buddhism, pointing to the vast land under the mountain, predicting that after 2400 years, a bustling city will emerge. Mandalay did not live up to expectations, under King Mindong, 30 years of glory dotted with immortal pages in history.

Mandalay's name also comes from the highest mountain in the city, Mount Mandalay, which passed by when Sakyamuni preached Buddhism, pointing to the vast land under the mountain, predicting that after 2400 years, a bustling city will emerge.

Mandalay Mountain is a famous Buddhist mountain, formerly known as Luocha Nv Mountain. Mandalay City is named for this mountain. Mandalay Mountain is 236 meters high, there are 231 big Buddhas and monasteries on the mountain, and more than 1,000 small monasteries. From the east, south and west, there is a stone step to the top of Mandalay Mountain, along the way there are eight famous temples. Tourist buses can't drive to Mandalay Mountain attractions, we transfer to this double-row car to the parking lot halfway up the mountain. This is a bus in Mandalay city, a car sometimes takes more than 20 people to mixed. From the mountainside, you can take the elevator directly to the top of the mountain. To view the scenery along the way, we chose to climb the stairs to the top of the mountain.
The Emerald Buddha is the only tower in the world built from natural emerald. After construction in 2012, a devout Burmese couple spent two years building jade with their 25-year storage. A total of 1,000 tons of jade was used, worth $1.1 billion. The best emeralds are inserted into the tip of the pagoda, and the night tower tops and parts of the towers emit a green glow that is breathtaking.
Sunset at Mandalay Mountain. This seems to be a country very suitable for watching the sunset, and there is a sunset worth looking forward to every place. The temple on the top of the mountain is inlaid with colorful mirrors, magnificent, and the sunset is particularly beautiful. Well, there is a small tip, come to such a rich faith country try not to wear hot pants, otherwise bring a large scarf, enter the temple to cover the legs. Then, the first time I tried to take the escalator barefoot, it was sour.
The scenery is really great, in fact, Mandalay Mountain is not high, 236 meters above sea level, it is a bit difficult! We are riding a motorcycle, you can rent a motorcycle, car, bicycle in the local area, motorcycle 80/day RMB, bicycle 20/day, and charge 400 subki parking fee. Arriving at the top of the mountain, the road is full of vendors, eating, crafts! There are many locals here to take night scenes, overlooking the whole picture of Mandalay. And watching the sunset here is simply beautiful!
