Working on the banks of the Ayeyarwady River, Mandalay, Myanmar
It is a sweltering 40 degree C Sunday afternoon in Mandalay, but the boats have to be loaded and unloaded. This video shows some glimpses of what this involves.
Ayeyarwady or Irrawaddy River (Mandalay) - Myanmar
The Irrawaddy River or Ayeyarwady River is a river that flows from north to south through Myanmar. It is the country's largest river and most important commercial waterway.

Its drainage basin of about 255,081 square kilometres (98,487 sq mi) covers a large part of Burma.

Living on the banks of the Ayeyarwady (Irrawaddy) River, Mandalay, Burma
Some of Mandalay's poorest residents live in shacks along the banks of the Ayeyarwady (Irrawaddy) River; many of them work here too, loading and unloading river boats. This film gives a glimpse, though an outsider's eyes, of their homes and lives. My thanks to the people in this film for the friendly reception they gave me as I walked around their neighborhood, and for allowing me to film them.

Astonishing Unfinished Pagoda of Mingun - MANDALAY, MYANMAR
TIME STAMPS: 6:19 Boats at Shore of Irrawaddy River; 7:40 Buying Ferry Ticket to Mingun; 13:02 Boarding the Ferry; 24:07 Docking at Mingun; 26:34 Giant Guardian Lions at Mingun; 37:48 The Unfinished Pagoda; 41:26 Massive Rear Door; 44:26 Astonishing Side Entrance; 46:15 The Stairs on the Unfinished Pagoda; 47:33 Ninety Tons of Bell; 53:29 Beautiful Myatheindan Pagoda; 1:00:10 Back on the Boat; 1:03:43 Summary and Conclusion
A mere ten-kilometer boat ride from Mandalay lies what some people call the largest pile of bricks in the world at Mingun. This astonishing pile of bricks was intended to be the largest pagoda in the world. It was never finished, and it was badly damaged in an earthquake. Yet, what remains is an incredible sight.
Guarding the entrance to the pagoda are two equally massive chinthe - the mythical creatures that protect pagodas in Myanmar. Both have lost their heads, but they are impressive even without them. And nearby is a 90-ton bell that once held the record as the largest functioning bell in the world. Next to that is the gorgeous Myatheindan Pagoda all in white.
As an easy morning trip from a jetty on the Irrawaddy River, you couldn't ask for more. In fact, just the boat ride to get to Mingun was an attraction in itself. It is a test of your balance to walk the planks just to get to the boat.

SPENDING 12 HOURS ON A RIVER! | Irrawaddy Cruise from Bagan to Mandalay (Goodbye Myanmar)
During our final days in Myanmar, we took an Irrawaddy River Cruise from Bagan to Mandalay. A slow boat that takes around 12 hours from sunrise to sunset.
The Irrawaddy or Ayeyarwady River flows from north to south through Myanmar. It is the country's largest river and most important commercial waterway. But it's the incredible morning views that we really wanted to see.

Mandalay Burma along the Irrawaddy River
Mandalay is the second largest city in Myanmar (Burma) on the East bank of the Irrawaddy River. It is a busy city but it has some peaceful spots. One of them is the banks of the River where boats are loaded and unloaded, much hard work done by women. A short bicycle ride south takes you to the popular but peaceful U Bein's bridge crossing the Taugthaman Lake. A little further south and taking the small ferry across the river is Inwa mouth of the Lake, an ancient imperial capital. There are still some ruins in a very peaceful surroundings .
This is a version without music but with ambient sound. A version with music can be seen on my other channel.

사뭇 표정이 진지하다. 놀이문화가 별로 없는 이곳에선 주로 애완동물과 시간을 보낸단다.“쓰러진 나무 밑에서 이놈을 발견했어요. 다쳐있어서 데려와 키웠어요.” “이리 와. 이리 와” 서늘한 오후가 되면 아버지는 고기를 잡으러 나선다. 아침 일찍 쳐 놓은 그물을 걷어 올리는데 하나 둘 물고기가 올라온다. 대게 붕어와 치리, 민물고기다. 요즘은 물고기가 별로 잡히지 않는단다. 보통 시장에 내다 팔지만 오늘은 그냥 먹기로 했다. 요리라야 그냥 아가미만 떼어내고 튀기면 된다. 그래도 군침이 돌 정도로 맛있어 보인다. 오랜만에 식탁이 푸짐하다. 진수성찬이 따로 없다. 그중에서도 오늘의 인기 메뉴는 아빠가 잡은 생선요리! 다람쥐도 맛있게 먹는다. 어스름 무렵, 이라와디 강이 시끌벅적하다. 아이들은 강을 놀이터삼아 놀고어머니는 흐뭇한 미소로 빨래를 한다. 더없이 평화로운 곳, 이게 바로 행복일까? 뉘엿뉘엿 지는 해처럼 내 마음속에도 미얀마 여행의 추억이 지고 있다.

Mandalay to Bagan River Cruise, Myanmar
The Mandalay to Bagan river cruise down the Irrawaddy River in Myanmar is a great experience. The river is a central transportation artery through the country, and the only way to fully appreciate this is by taking the boat to see it for yourself.
The journey between Mandalay and Bagan takes around 11 hours by boat on the river, and a number of different companies offer services. They are all pretty much the same, with this one serving breakfast and lunch on board.
Along the way we stopped off at a village for a quick look around - most likely also to let the engines cool down a little!
This video shows you what the river cruise to Bagan from Mandalay is like. Enjoy!

BAGAN TO MANDALAY BY BOAT - A Day on the Irrawaddy River in Myanmar
TIME STAMPS: 1:42 Boarding the MGRG Express Boat; 2:30 First Look at the Boat; 12:03 The Boat at Dawn & My Breakfast Box; 16:54 First Cup of Coffee!; 21:25 The Bridge at Pakokku; 25:30 Daylight Tour of the Boat; 33:00 Coffee Number Two; 41:51 Breakfast Time; 45:04 Lunch Time; 46:41 Update-One and a Half Hours till Mandalay; 49:23 The Bridges of Mandalay; 51:18 What I Know About Mandalay; 54:10 Docking at Mandalay Jetty; 56:38 TukTuk to My Hotel; 57:51 Journey's End at the Hotel Boss
Mandalay is not that far from Bagan. I believe it is about 170 kilometers by road, and if you need to make that trip to catch your flight, there are a lot of very comfortable and reasonably-priced buses waiting to take you. Some of them will even come to your hotel and pick you up there and drop you off at your hotel in Mandalay.
You can also get to Mandalay by train. That would likely take a bit more effort on your part to figure out when the trains go and how you buy tickets and sorting out the different classes of ticket (if any). It would take a fair bit longer than a bus, too, but it would be much cheaper and certainly a lot more interesting as an experience.
Finally, you can go by boat - a tourist boat, to be exact. There appear to be at least two companies operating boats that regularly make the run between Bagan and Mandalay. They don't run year-round, though. During some months of the low season, they stop operating, and they start back up again once the tourists return.
I appeared to have arrived in Bagan right at the beginning of the new season for the boats. It took some work on my part and a few visits to some ticket offices to sort it all out, but I eventually figured out which boats were going and on which days. I made my final decision to go by boat and bought a ticket. After all, I had taken a train to get to Bagan. And I don't like buses in general. So a trip by boat seemed the best choice.

Myanmar/Beautiful magic Mingun (Mandalay-Myanmar) Part 14
Welcome to my travelchannel.On my channel you can find almost 1000 films of more than 70 countries. See the playlist on my youtube channel.Enjoy!
Mingun-Mandalay
Mingun is a town in Sagaing Region, northwest Myanmar (Burma), located 11 km up the Ayeyarwady River on the west bank from Mandalay. Its main attraction is the ruined Mingun Pahtodawgyi.
The Mingun temple is a monumental uncompleted stupa began by King Bodawpaya in 1790. It was not completed, due to an astrologer claiming that, once the temple was finished, the king would die. The completed stupa would have been the largest in the world at 150 metres (490 ft). Huge cracks are visible on the structure from the earthquake of 23 March 1839. Like many large pagodas in Myanmar, a pondaw paya or working model of the stupa can be seen nearby.
King Bodawpaya also had a gigantic bell cast to go with his huge stupa, the Mingun Bell weighing 90 tons, and is today the largest ringing bell in the world. The weight of the bell in Burmese measurement, is 55,555 viss or peiktha (1 viss = 1.63 kg), handed down as a mnemonic Min Hpyu Hman Hman Pyaw, with the consonants representing the number 5 in Burmese astronomy and numerology.
The Mingun Bell is a bell located in Mingun, Sagaing Region, Myanmar. It is located approximately 11 km (6.8 mi) north of Mandalay on the western bank of the Irrawaddy River. It was the heaviest functioning bell in the world at several times in history.At 90 tons, the Mingun Bell reigned as the largest ringing bell in the world until 2000, when it was eclipsed by the 116-ton Bell of Good Luck at the Foquan Temple, Pingdingshan, Henan, China.
Mingun Pahtodawgyi:
The Mingun temple is a monumental uncompleted stupa began by King Bodawpaya in 1790. It was not completed, due to an astrologer claiming that, once the temple was finished, the king would die.[citation needed] The completed stupa would have been the largest in the world at 150 metres (490 ft). Huge cracks are visible on the structure from the earthquake of 23 March 1839. Like many large pagodas in Myanmar, a pondaw paya or working model of the stupa can be seen nearby.
Hsinphyumae Pagoda:
Just a couple of hundred yards from the great stupa and bell lies the beautiful white Hsinbyume or Myatheindan Pagoda with a distinctive architectural style modelled after the mythical Mount Meru (Myinmo taung), built in 1816 by Bodawpaya's grandson and successor Bagyidaw and dedicated to the memory of his first consort Princess Hsinbyume (Lady of the White Elephant, granddaughter of Bodawpaya, 1789--1812) who died in childbirth.
Irrawaddy River Sounding between Mandalay and Bagan, Myanmar
During monsoon season, the Irrwaddy River in Myanmar is wide and easily navigable, but in the dry season the width and depth of the river shrink significantly. As a result, sailing becomes more difficult, as I witnessed recently during my Viking River Mandalay Explorer cruise. Parts of the river are so dangerously low that men thrust long bamboo poles into the water on both sides of the ship's bow, calling out the depth according to how much of the pole protrudes from the water. Our boat needed five feet and at one point, the man on the port side called out 4.5 feet (in Burmese), which another crew member reported to the pilot house via walkie-talkie. Just moments later, we veered sharply right. To read more about my world travels visit my blog,
