Amarapura

Myanmar's penultimate royal capital, the now modern town of Amarapura, 11km south of Mandalay, is more well known by the many day-trippers for its 1849 pedestrian bridge built of over 1000 teak posts. The setting onm the wide Taungthaman Lake is gorgeous too, and there is much more to see, though most sites are scattered. Amarapura means 'City of Immortality', though its period as capital was brief-just over 50 years. It was founded by Bodawpaya as his new capital in 1783. In 1857 Mindon Min decided to make Mandalay the capital, and the changeover was completed in 1860. Today little remains of the old Amarapura palace area. The city walls were torn down to make quarry material, while most of the wooden palace buildings were dismantled and taken to adorn the palace in Mandalay.
