Visitors can walk around the entire complex freely, admire its snow-white galleries, and relax in the shade of spreading trees. Organized guided tours to this pagoda are quite rare.

Iconic cultural sights of Myanmar-Burma
Nowadays, Mandalay is one of the largest centers in Myanmar. This is a modern megalopolis with hotels and restaurants, but it doesn’t have many historic landmarks. The majority of attractions are located on the perimeter of the historic center. These are traditional artisan workshops that work with stone, bone, wood, and precious metals; cult landmarks – pagodas and monasteries – there are more than 700 of them. Foreign tourists do not have Mandalay as their top priority, but there are people who love this city and want to visit it again and again. Myanmar is rich in ancient cities with unique landmarks, and these cities, naturally, attract more visitors.
