Ancient Capitals (Amarapura, Ava and Sagaing)

In Myanmar, you can embark on an expedition to investigate the ancient capitals of Amarapura, Ava and Sagaing, crossing the bridge over the Irrawaddy River into Sagaing. With 600 ivory-colored pagodas and monasteries, Sagaing Hill is generally seen as the spiritual hub of Myanmar, and claims residence to around 3,000 monks and nearly 100 meditation shrines. Continuing through Sagaing’s local market, a less visited tourist site, you can reach Ava, which was the standing capital from the 14th through the 18th centuries.
