This tour is the perfect introduction to Mandalay. We start at 2 pm with the Mahamuni pagoda and have a look at this century's old Buddha statue originating from Mrauk Oo. It is a very lively temple compound where men are sticking gold leaves to the Buddha statue. The Mahamuni is also an excellent place to shop around for the perfect Buddha statue (bronze or wood). Can't find what you are looking for? Find a marble statue at the next stop which is the marble carving street. The old capital of Amarapura is a very quiet village nowadays where you only hear the sound of the weaving machines. We walk through the famous Mahagandayon monastery complex with hundreds of monks, visit one of the small weaving factories and walk over U-Bein Bridge and take a boat ride before heading back to your hotel.
Or vice versa when arriving from the airport: start with Amarapura and then visit Mahamuni. The rest of the day the car and guide are available for additional visits, if desired.
