Mandalay, Myanmar

Photography Tour in Mandalay

The best photos of Mandalay aren't at the obvious landmarks. The real magic is in the side streets, the reflected light, the unexpected angles that only reveal themselves to those exploring on foot.

Myanmar's cultural capital, a city of royal palaces, teak monasteries, and ancient pagodas at the foot of Mandalay Hill.
