Myanmar's second city is a relatively new creation, founded at the foot of Mandalay Hill in 1857 by King Mindon as his royal capital. This cultural city of Myanmar was bombed flat in WWII and the palace disappeared, along with much else. The palace was rebuilt in the 1990s, and since then Mandalay has undergone a haphazard construction boom.
The city is the economic and religious hub of Myanmar and is full of attractions one cannot deny. Mandalay is centered around the Royal Palace and has wide lane filled with bicycles and motorcycles and is known for cultural diversity. Its surrounding towns are known for hundreds of pagodas and monasteries found in the area.
