Mandalay and its amazing white pagoda

We arrived in Mandalay with one aim in mind, finding the Hsinbyume white pagoda of Myanmar or the Taj Mahal of Myanmar like others call it. But getting to it wasn't possible in the first day of our stay in Mandalay so we started exploring the city instead. We visited the biggest book in the world, some impressive temples and the sunset caught us at the U-Bein bridge. The next day we took a river cruise on the Irrawaddy river and got to Mingun where we got to see with our own eyes the amazing Hsinbyume Pagoda and the Pahtodawgyi Temple.
