    Beautiful temple, try to arrive there late afternoon to meet its poudre-white pagodas in the rays of the setting sun. Gorgeous!

    Eine sehr schöne Pagode. Der Eintritt💰 kostet ca. 3 Dollar und gilt auch für die Kuthodaw Pagode. Die Pagode erhebt sich an der Stelle, wo während der Bauzeit des Palastes König👑 Mindons provisorische Residenz stand.

    This is similar to the nearby Kuthodaw pagoda because of the large number of whitewashed ancillary stupas, also each containing a tablet of scriptures - 1774 in total! Each slab measuring 1.68 meters tall and 1.07 meters wide! Wow. The pagoda houses the largest iron Buddha image in Burma, named the Sandamani image, cast in 1802 from of almost 41,000 pounds of iron, it is now covered with a layer of gold. Its difficult to get a true perspective of the number and e extent of these buildings. Aerial photos or Google Maps view helps.

    A sea of whitewashed stupas sets Sandamuni Pagoda apart from the thousand other pagodas that you will likely visit in Mandalay. If you take your time to observe the architecture, you will be rewarded with intricate details, linear perspectives and geometric patterns. A favorite place for marriage pictures, the brightly colored clothes of brides-to-be will contrast with the stark whiteness of the pagodas. Monks in saffron robes compete for your attention. During the visit, I did not mind being barefoot because I felt like I was floating on a magic carpet.

    We checked this temple out on our walk back from the top of Mandalay hill at Sunrise. Was well worth the visit. We were here mid morning and it wasn't crowded and not to Hot.

    Beautiful pagoda located near the northeast corner of the Golden Palace at Mandalay. It is known for its multitude of white stupas that give it a very unique look. It was built in the late 19th century as a memorial to a young prince who was assasinated during a rebellion.

    This is actually a better sightseeing experience than Mandalay Hill due to the fact it sees far less visitors. Not much shade around the large central stupa, so go earlier in the day to beat the heat.

    Невероятно красивое место

  • 5/5 Ray D. 4 years ago on Google • 88 reviews
    Beautiful site with countless pagodas. It’s free to walk in but you can also leave a donation if you wish to. I would recommend visiting early in the morning or late afternoon before sunset to avoid the heat. Toilets are available outside the complex, a short 2 minute on the right hand side of the main gate. There are also plenty of food stalls at the exit. There is enough place to park a car outside.

    One of my most favourite Payas in Mandalay. Much quieter than alot of others. Beautiful to photograph at all times of the day and many quiet places to pray.

    One of the largest pagodas In Mandalay. The Sandamuni Pagoda (also Sandamani, because it contains the largest iron Buddha, the "Sandamani"), or Paya, is located to the southeast of Mandalay Hill and bears a resemblance to the nearby Kuthodaw pagoda because of the large number of slender whitewashed ancillary stupas on the grounds.
