Inside Myanmar’s Forgotten Capital 🇲🇲

Mandalay is one of Myanmar’s most historic cities, but there’s far more to it than its famous temples and monuments. In this episode, I spend the day exploring the city, visiting the old Mandalay Palace, the beautifully preserved Shwenandaw Monastery, and one of the workshops where traditional gold leaf is made.
Along the way, I speak with locals, walk through the streets of Mandalay, and get a closer look at the history, religion, and everyday life that shape the city.
From the former royal capital to the top of Mandalay Hill, this is a street-level look at one of Myanmar’s most fascinating cities — and what life here looks like today.

Great work , Ryan.
Focus on Burma, would be my advice to you. Unique, wonderful, neglected land almost no foreigners visiting at present.
Your inquisitive mind, readiness to engage sympathetically with the locals and meet the challenges of travelling in a country in crisis can surely only be of benefit.
