Shwenandaw Kyaung Monastery, one of the most beautiful monasteries we saw on our trip.
Myanmar (Burma), Mandalay, March 2012

The Shwenandaw monastery is the most significant of Mandalay’s historic buildings, since this ‘Golden Palace Monastery’ remains the sole major survivor of the former wooden Royal Palace built by King Mindon in the mid-nineteenth century.
The Shwenandaw is a wonderfully fragile yet grand example of 19th century Burmese teak architecture and also a significant masterpiece of the wood-carver’s art: http://www.orientalarchitecture.com/myanmar/mandalay/shwenandaw.php

	Jun 03 2012 17:38 GMT senna3 Mila, I read at internet that it took 5 years to reconstruct the monastery after it was removed from the Royal City to Mandalay. I couldn't find information about the content of the reconstruction.
