Very interesting place in central Mandalay. This workshop specialize in handmade traditional golden leaf production, which are used in covering different things especially Budda figures in stupas and monasteries (in the traditional way by Myanmar's people). However You can find other souvenirs covered in gold. The nice place to see if You come by this district (there are other similar workshop in this area).

When you travel through Myanmar and visit pagodas you will have come across gold leaf vendors. This workshop produced them. Staff explains the extremely laborious and time-consuming process of turning gold strips into super-thin gold leaves and of manufacturing bamboo paper. The leaflet for 1,000 MKK describes both processes and it comes with a gold leaf.

Traditional gold workshop, where you can examine how gold plates are being flattened to be used for decoration or offerings later on. You can see the craftmen working with hammers, and the staff is exceptionally kind and helpful, speaking fluent English. They will tell you about the work process and the possible uses of the golden leafs - of course you can buy many different jewelry, decoration or simply gold.

Es wird erklärt, wie die Goldplättchen, die an vielen Budas kleben hergestellt werden. Man kann die einzelnen Arbeitsprozesse genau sehen. Auch nach der Besichtigung wird keine Spende erwartet, man kann aber freiwilig was geben. Das hat mir sehr gut gefallen, es war alles zwanglos und trotzdem alles sehr freundlich und informativ.

Extremely interesting, free tour. We didn't work out how to join a tour so we hung around on the edges of a couple of groups and found that to be effective. There is a showroom with beautiful items for sale, we had no pressure to buy anything. The people working on beating the gold and preparing the gold leaf for sale are expert at their jobs and can cope with tourists watching them work. There is an opportunity to leave a tip for them.

Interesting place to learn about the gold leaf making process. The staff are friendly and one of them put gold leaf on our forehead while we were visiting the workshop. I guess it means good luck!
