Maha Aung Mye Bon Zan Monastery, Mandalay

3.9

Admire the spectacular Maha Aung Mye Bon Zan Monastery, an impressive example of Burmese monastery architecture. Built in 1818 by Queen Me Nu as the residence of the royal abbott, the building veered away from tradition and was built using masonry rather than wood, giving it the nickname "the brick monastery." Photographers will relish the opportunity to explore this marvellous structure, which offers the finest brickwork decorated with flora and stucco. Follow inner passageways to uncover several Buddha images. Surrounding the monastery, you’ll find golden-topped white stupas of various sizes.

We arrive in this monastery in a carriage. At first glance the site lacks originality. The brick is covered with a paint very damaged. This site needs to be maintained so that it can attract tourists. The "Maha Aung Mye BOM SAN MONASTERY" is surrounded by several small pagodas. We visited and may interest... This place is deserted...

Much like the old wooden monasteries, with their tiered roofs...except this one is of brick and stucco. Architecturally ornate it's a complex structure. It's weather-worn ochre paintwork adds to its m... more »

Auch wenn die Anlage etwas ungepflegt und verwittert ist, ist es eine Besichtigung wert. Alleine schon die Anfahrt mit der Pferdekutsche ist nicht alltäglich, more »

Even if the plant slightly unkempt and weathered, it is worth a visit. Alone the arrival by horse-drawn carriage is not commonplace,
