Mandalay Palace, you must visit the Royal Palace when you come to Mandalay, Thayer took everyone to visit the Royal Palace, which is a famous attraction and has a lot of tourists.

Originally the royal palace of the last dynasty of Myanmar, the Gongbang Dynasty, which was destroyed by fire during World War II, has been rebuilt on the site with 89 main halls restored, completed and open to the public.

"We came here to see the furnishings and gorgeous decorations in the palace, and to feel the historical atmosphere of the royal relatives living in the luxurious palace.

There are two places in the palace that must be visited, one is the 33-meter-high watchtower, after climbing the 121st staircase, you will have a bird's-eye view of the entire palace and the city of Mandalay, you can really feel the superiority of "the earth is under my feet", but be careful, when you go up the wooden stairs, you will "chirp", and if you push too hard, you will not know if it will collapse.

"You have to climb up and look out to see the scenery beyond!" Thayer said.

Zhou Sen followed Thayer to climb high and look into the distance, the effect was really good, just like Thayer introduced, standing on a high place, there is really a feeling that the earth is under my feet, immersive, and the feeling is even more profound.

Another must-visit place is the museum, which exhibits items used by the Burmese kings, a small number of furniture, photographs, and more, and is the only place where you can learn about the history of Burma.

Zhou Sen followed Thayer, he really felt that it was really right to come here, the palace was indeed luxurious, and it was very different from the ordinary civilian residences.

The palace is far less big than the Forbidden City, but there are many buildings inside, there are the emperor's main hall summoned by the courtiers, the living room, a large harem where the concubines lived, the golden tile and red walls, all of which are Burmese style, but unfortunately there are no furnishings, there is a museum of ancient Burmese culture, which exhibits the clothing, supplies and Buddhist art of the court of that year.

"Wow, it's really the right place to come here, there are so many things in the palace, the ancient king, it's a blessing to live in such a luxurious house!"

Thayer nodded, "Yes, this palace is very famous, I want to focus on introducing it to you, let's take a look together, and leave a deep impression, the opportunity to visit the palace is still rare, in the past, civilians could not enter the palace to visit, only nobles can, now it is open to the public, tourists can watch it up close, and feel more!"

The architecture of the palace presents a strong Bagan style, layer by layer, one layer is smaller than the other, the overall look like the Bagan pagoda, the palace is square, there are four main gates, eight side gates, red brick palace walls, there is a wide moat outside the wall, there are 104 large and small temples in the palace, the whole building complex is a wooden structure, finely carved, magnificent, made of steel, wood and a large amount of gilding.

The wooden structure of the royal palace is made of teak, a precious tree unique to Myanmar, which is not easy to crack and corrosion-resistant, and the feudal Burmese dynasty also designated teak as the royal wood, and the royal palace and the imperial city are built with this wood.

Zhou Sen sighed, "Wow, it's so luxurious!"

The whole building complex is a wooden structure, finely carved, the magnificent building is mainly red and gold, dazzling and brilliant from afar, and the carved corridor and columns are exquisitely beautiful.

Liu Dazhuang also nodded, "I was deeply impressed here, when I visit a city, the first thing I will think of is whether there is a palace, if there is a palace, it is a good place for us to shoot and shoot, it is commemorative, and the film is easy to make those who have not been here curious, so as to follow our lens and watch the show together!"

"Yes, Da Zhuang is right!"

"This palace is very luxurious in Myanmar, and it can be seen that it was carefully designed and built!"

"Yes, the design of the palace is very important, professional architects were invited, after careful design, after the war, it was rebuilt, it was the most luxurious palace that could be built in Myanmar at that time, and it is still very commemorative!"

The houses on the palace square of Mandalay Palace are divided into east and west.

The east part is inhabited by male dependents, and the western part is inhabited by female dependents, and between the two parts is the Jinluan Palace, in the middle of which is the sacred king's lion throne.

The hall below the throne is the place where the king holds ceremonies and receives foreign envoys, and the steps of the various clans between the throne symbolize the supremacy of the king.

"We'll introduce the palace here, let's rest for a short free time for a while, and then we'll go to the next attraction. Thayer said.

"Okay!" Zhou Sen agreed, took everyone to move freely, rested for a while, and then got in the car to go to the next attraction.

Located about 11 kilometers south of Mandalay city, the century-old teak bridge was built in 1851 and offers a great chance of seeing the immortality of teak. The 1.2-kilometre-long teak bridge is made of thousands of solid teak trees and spans the lake in a zigzag shape, which can cushion the strong impact of the water on the bridge during the rainy season, and more than 100 years later, the people on both sides of the lake still rely on the bridge for their lives.

"This bridge is quite historical, and it can be said that it has withstood a lot of wind and rain, and it is really not easy to stand!" Thayer said.

"Yes, it still looks pretty good, the strong impact of the rain, it's good, the bridge is still very strong!" Zhou Sen said.

The bridge looks antique, rustic, and does not use a single iron nail at the junction, but relies on the tenon, which is the most precious treasure in Myanmar.

From the piers to the deck and guardrails, all of which are made of precious teak, which has survived for a hundred years and still stands in the East Taman Lake, making it the longest teak bridge in the world.

At sunset, many young local couples gather here to enjoy the stunning beauty of East Taman Lake.

Thayer said: "This is also a very famous lover's bridge, many couples believe that coming here can witness their love, can make love become like this bridge, forever, have good wishes for love, and join hands with their loved ones on the bridge, the wish they make will definitely come true!"

Many Burmese lovers who are deeply influenced by Buddhist ideas will come to the Ubun Bridge and vow to maintain these six spirits of harmony and mutual respect.

Zhou Sen said: "It still looks very romantic, and I am also moved by the atmosphere here!"

More than 100 years later, the people on both sides of the river still rely on the bridge for their livelihood, and the pedestrians, painters, hawkers and beggars on the bridge, as well as the boatmen who are struggling to paddle under the bridge, are all guarding the teak bridge and interpreting their own stories.

All the people who have been to Mandalay, most of them are willing to use the greatest passion to express and interpret the Uben Bridge, the area around the Uben Bridge was originally a low-lying place, and when the rainy season comes, the lake rises and the lakeside becomes a Zeguo, so in order to solve the traffic difficulties of the locals, King Mindong built this bridge.

In order to keep the bridge from decaying, precious teak wood was used to build the bridge, so that it has such a century-old quality, and there are some very good temples near the Ubon Bridge, such as Pato Dok Chi Temple, Kyaukdazhi Pagoda, Dang Min Chi Buddha, etc., which are all Buddhist holy places with a long history.
