Myanmar Highlights
A curated look at the best Myanmar has to offer. These are the destinations that consistently stand out — places with real character, great experiences, and something worth going out of your way for.
Kakku
If you’re visiting Nyaungshwe or Inle Lake, you’ll be within reach of the mystical site of Kakku. With nearly 2,500 spires assembled into a tightly compacted hillside, the area is visually stunning. You can walk among the narrow passages between the pagodas and get a good look at their sometimes ancient engravings.
Explore DestinationU Bein Bridge
An impressive structure over the Taungthaman Lake, U Bein Bridge has become an iconic destination for visitors to Mandalay region. Just a short drive from the city in the Amarapura area, the bridge was built in 1850 and is about three-quarters of a mile long. It is believed to be the oldest and longest bridge of its kind in the world.
Explore DestinationShwenandaw Temple
Shwenandaw is an exquisite example of the wood-art craftsmanship of the original Burmese style. It’s made completely out of teak, a type of wood that’s native to Myanmar and is known for its durability. Travelers also find this temple easy to fit into a trip to Mandalay, since it’s just a short distance from here to Mandalay Hill.
Explore DestinationMandalay Palace
The best part about this palace is the lookout tower. From the four-story high perch, you can see a clear view of the palace, as well as the neighboring Mandalay Hill.
Explore DestinationColonial Quarter
Near the congestion of Chinatown sits Maha Bandula Park, one of the few open green spaces in the downtown area. With its lush lawn, magnificent trees, and several water fountains, it offers a pleasant, pastoral spot to admire British colonial architecture, most of which dates back to the mid-19th century. Take a break from modern, busy Yangon with a cup of tea or a cooling lime soda.
