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.
The day started early, when a small Toyota dinky-toy car drove us out of the dusty streets of Mandalay. After crossing the bridge over the Ayeyarwady river, it took us to the foot of the hills of Sagaing. After the fall of Bagan as the capital city of Myanmar, Sagaing was the capital in two different periods, first in the 14th century. What rests now, is mostly an enormous collection of monasteries, nunneries and stupas. You can climb up a seemingly endless number of steps, leading to pagodas and monasteries higher up, from where you have great views over the surrounding hills, dotted with spires of yet more pagodas, and of course, the mighty Ayeyarday river.
