Le pont d'U Bein est un pont de teck situé sur le lac Taungthaman, à Amarapura, dans le centre de la Birmanie. Il a été construit à partir de 1849 par le maire d'U Bein avec des colonnes de teck abandonnées lors du transfert de la capitale à Mandalay. Wikipédia
It's an interesting climb up the Mandalay Hills to the Si Taung Pyi Pagoda at the top. Lots of interesting things to see on the way and when you finally arrive you are greeted by this wonderful view overlooking the city of Mandalay below.

The Burmese game where children jump over a string is known as "Htong-htaung seik" or "Sein-nyo-htwey." In this traditional game, a horizontal string is held by two players at each end, creating a low arc above the ground. The other players take turns jumping over the string without touching it.
Exploring a local Monastery in Mandalay, I came across this scene - originally planning to take a portrait, this image of a Monk adjusting his clothing came across much more appealing in the end
Mandalay Hill is a 240 metres (790 ft) hill that is located to the northeast of the city centre of Mandalay in Burma. The city took its name from the hill. Mandalay Hill is known for its abundance of pagodas and monasteries, and has been a major pilgrimage site for Burmese Buddhists for nearly two centuries. At the top of the hill is the Sutaungpyei (literally wish-fulfilling) Pagoda. A panoramic view of Mandalay from the top of Mandalay Hill alone makes it worthwhile to attempt a climb up its stairways. There are four covered stairways called saungdan leading up the hill from the south, southeast, west and north, and convenient seats of masonry work line these stairways all the way up. A one-way motor road today saves time and also makes it accessible for those who are unable to climb up the stairs, leading to an escalator and a lift to the pagoda at the summit.
