Myanmar > Places & Sights > Mandalay
Mandalay was the last capital before the British colonization. Perhaps this accounts for its being the most typical city in Myanmar, which has retained its old charm.
A popular place to go is Mandalay Hill. Situated a couple of hundred meters above town, it offers an excellent view over the city. There are four staircases, one from each direction. A road leads part-way up to an escalator to the top.
The new airport of Mandalay has been officially opened on 17 September 2000. It is located about 37 kilometers south-west of the city.
