Mandalay
At the first sight, you might think that Mandalay is all about a haphazard construction boom not for aesthetics, a really smoggy city suffering from high air pollution due to an incredibly large number of motorbikes and cars clogging the roads.
In fact, with the Ayeyarwaddy River on one side and the steep hills of the Shan Plateau rising to the east, Mandalay, the very name evokes the splendors of the old Burma, has much more to offer.
