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.
