Sagaing, just like a suburb of Mandalay, is only 19
KM from Mandalay. The Sagaing Hills compose of low hills and not so low
hills, sparsely covered with trees, but with the Ayeyarwaddy snaking
along its base, the weather is just fine. The most famous pagodas in the
Sagaing Hills are Soon U Ponnyashin, Oo Min Thonze and Padamya Ceti. A
visit to Soon U Ponnyashin Pagoda, the second highest peak, reachable by
car also, is a must. Scene from the platform of this pagoda, the
panoramic view is simply magnificent. You can enjoy the cityscape of
Mandalay, the Ayeyarwaddy and the Duthtawaddy, Kywetnapar mountain, the
foothills of Shan plateau, the gorgeous Inn Wa ( AVA ) Bridge, and the
massive Kaungmudaw Pagoda, etc. The Sagaing Hills might bring to mind
pockets of peace and quiet and is a favourite spot with pilgrims coming
from afar because of its pleasant natural surrounding and roaming
opportunities all over the place. Numerous monasteries and Chaungs are a
good reason for merit making activities to be held here.
