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.
