You can see the whole city from up here. Even Irrawaddy river. You can either walk or take a car. There are parking spaces up there.
This is a pagoda and a temple situated on top of a hill at Mandalay. Very beautiful views . You can go up to the entrance by vehicle (ample parking available) and climb up to pagoda using elevator (very common in similar pagodas in Myanmar) on the way down you can use stairs so that you can buy a lot of souvenirs. Don't forgot to bargain on price if you are a foreigner (price may 3-4 times higher for a foreigner)
best place in mandalay 4 stars hotel
I want to suggest you to watch sunset from here. It is a best place to get above view over Mandalay city , mandalay Palace , Sagaing hills and Irrawaddy river.
We were lucky enough to arrive in the city and to be transported right away in this amazing temple. The sunset light was the best thing and all the colours of the walls and decorations irradiated brightness and sparkles. The monks were super nice, they came talking to us (to practice their English as we later discovered), they were curious and kind. Amazing experience :-)
It s a nice ride by bicycle to the top. The penultimate platform, a pagoda is very nice and has good views. The best view is one step higher and cost 1000 k extra for foreigners. Toilet 200 k if needed :)
Too bad the sun goes down on the side of the huge golf resort which is not so nice really. Other side are beautiful. The trip to the top is worth it more than the view
Nice hill and temple, excellent views across the city and to the river. Quite busy during weekends and at sunset/sunrise.
Lots of salesman in the temple, and sometimes they seem to charge foreigners $1 to enter, but it seems to depend on their mood
At the top of the Mountain , there is a Buddha image in Temple. You can see the beauty of Mandalay town's view in nature around the hill. and you can rent scope to look zoom in . Also nice place to take photo with nature background.
From memory, as we were told at the entrance, it is about 1700 steps to the top but this made the climb all the more worthwhile! The view is spectacular right across Mandalay. The cost of entry was tiny although they could have been a little more transparent about it. There are benches at intervals for those that need a rest on the way up and drinks vendors selling water and other drinks. There are other interesting temples to see in the vicinity of Mandalay Hill after you've walked back down. If you want to learn about the country you're visiting, you have to make the effort! We recommend it.
