Mrauk U Dating back to the 15th century, the temples
of Mrauk U bear testament to the period of the fearsome Rakhine
kings.
This magical site is interspersed with waterways
meandering between grassy hillocks and verges upon which
many of the temples sit, adding a magical feel to the
area. With over 70 relics contained inside the city
walls and south of the palace ruins, Mrauk U is a more
compact landsca
pe of
temples than the more famous Bagan – once again though,
it affords visitors a fascinating and amazingly
well-preserved insight into Myanmar’s turbulent history.
