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.
We cycled back to the north, and visited the royal palace. It occupies an enormous area surrounded by a moat, can be entered only from the eastern side, and has some impressive buildings right at its centre. From here, it was not far to the foot of Mandalay Hill, with pagodas everywhere. After visiting Sandamani Paya, we paid a visit to touristy Kuthodaw Paya, which houses the official Buddhist "Bible", written on over 700 marble slabs. A little further on, we walked up Mandalay Hill for a view over the city at sunset, and realized just how much this city has to offer.
