    An ornately carved temple that must have been spectacular in its heyday but now in need of restoration. Its surrounded by the old dwellings of the resident monks, but its eerily quiet.Note the sign to remove "slippers" (shoes), but then you walk around on the ground barefoot - unusual vs only entering a prayer hall.On the one side, the wooden gates at the top of the staircases are open and you can go to the first level and enter the prayer hall upstairs.

    Very Peaceful place, No Entrance fee is Good 👍 better take a plastic bag to put your shoes because shoes are not allow to wear in the Monastery, surrounding have no restaurant or shop, better let your Taxi wait for you.

    Impressive and aesthetically pleasing structure. Very relaxing, we were there at 3pm on a Monday and were absolutely alone. But please, send somebody with a hammer to re-nail all those planks, nails are protruding a bit of everywhere and it isn't pleasant as you have to walk bare feet there...

    Very nice and very peaceful monastery with the central structure entirely made of wood on stilts, more than 100 years old. Entrance is free but you can leave an offer for the renovation of the building. The best time to visit is early morning or before sunset as it becomes very hot there after 11am like in other places in Mandalay.

    Beautiful monastery, the woodwork is exquisite. Very calm and peaceful place. Thankfully there was not many people there, so it didn't disturb the serenity of the monastery.

    Quiet but beautiful, not just the wooden building but also the path around it. Small but really nice atmosphere.

    만달레이 중심지에서 벗어난 위치에 있어 찾아가는 길에 만달레이 시민들의 삶을 엿볼 수 있어서 좋다. 수도원으로 이용되고 있고 목조건축에 디테일한 조각들로 화려한 느낌이다.

    There are three wooden monasteries in mandalay, shwenandaw,bagaya and shweinbin monastery,all the three monasteries are wooden temples and very similar to each other.This is my personnel view and my opinion only.If you visit either one of the monastery,there would be no need to visit the other two monastery,the best of the three would be Shwenandaw monastery which is quite close to the palace and within the city centre

    It’s an interesting neighborhood if you’d like to walk but in terms of its architecture nothing really special.

  • 5/5 Naman T. 5 years ago on Google • 90 reviews
    Nice break from the usual grand big monasteries in the area. Wooded structure with different vibes. Monks engaged in occult practices back in the day (ref: sightseeing write up at sanctuary hotel), and sure feels like it.

    Wooden spout is very rare to see around this town. You can also see the lantern that was given by British mornach.

    Трата времени. Грязь и запустение, большая чксть верхнего этажа закрыта. Жалкая пародия Shwenandaw.
