The People, The Culture, The Food - Myanmar | Part 3: The Outskirts of Mandalay
(watch part 1 here: https://youtu.be/F3VfVr5g3nI)
Getting out of the city was a great idea. We went to three former capitals: Inwa (aka Inn Wa), Sagaing, and Amarapura (where U Bein Bridge is). The small towns and countryside of Myanmar, may not be where the people can get much work, but it's definitely the most beautiful part of Myanmar. U Bein Bridge may have been the most stunningly graphic thing we saw on our two weeks in Myanmar. Inwa was absolutely precious, and deserved much more time than we could give it. Sagaing is temple town, with some incredible pagodas built at the top of Sagaing Hill, where the views over the Irrawaddy river are incredible. If you're in the Mandalay area, get out of town and take the best day trip Mandalay has to offer. I recommend renting a motorbike and exploring on your own time.
