Excellent

To reach this monastery, it is best rent a boat which brings you there. From Mandalay you have to drive about 11 km along the Ayeyarwady River. All together the journey takes about an hour. This monastery was built by King Bodawpaya in 1790. He tried to build the tallest building existing in the world, but eventually he could not finish his construction. Currently it crumbles due to the damage caused by an earthquake.
