In the direct vicinity of Mandalay, you can visit the former capitals of Myanmar, each with its own attractions, and every one is diverse and unique.
Another former capital is Amarapura, which was the capital twice. Amarapura has pagodas and monasteries, an attractive village on the shore of Lake Taugthaman, but it is most famous for U Bein Bridge, supposedly the longest teak wood bridge in the world. It is a very aesthetic sight, blending in perfectly with the surrouding landscape. The bridge draws a representative crowd of Burmese, as it is the shortest link between the two sides of the lake. You can meet monks, village people, school children, fishermen, duckherds, and, well, other visitors. Walking the bridge is a pleasant stroll, the strong teak posts still hold the bridge after some 200 years. Coming back by boat it a good alternative as it gives you a different, more remote view of this wonder of human craftmanship.
