Mandalay has a name with a special ring to it. Apart from being the last royal capital, it is a good base to explore the other surrounding ex-capitals of Myanmar.
Mandalay, a name that Kipling used for a poem, and Robbie Williams for a song, was the royal capital of then Burma for a short while in the 19th century, before the English moved in. According to legend, the Buddha himself prophecied that after 2400 years, a great city and metropolis of Buddhism would arise on the plain at the foot of Mandalay Hill. And indeed, King Mindon Min constructed a new city here in the 1850s, making it the capital; a clear example of a self-fulfilling prophecy. The city is therefore relatively new, and that means it is carefully planned and easy to navigate. The city seemed quite dynamic, with quiet, village like parts but also modern ones with flashy shopping malls and high buildings.
