Su Taung Pyae Pagoda

Best time to visit this place is in the morning or in the late afternoon when the weather is not so hot ,so you can fully enjoy the view.

This is a beautiful Pagoda that is situated in a strategic spot on top of Mandalay Hill. If you want to take advantage of the views on the city and the surrounding areas, choose to go early in the morning to avoid the haze that comes after the weather warms up during the day. The building features intricate designs that use mirrors of many colors.

We went up to the peek to see the sunset. Since we arrived already at 3pm we were able to enjoy the view by ourselves before the place got crowded. Its nice to walk up there, which takes about half an hour. If you can’t walk that many stairs, you can go by car or take a taxi.

One of the nicest Pagoda we visited. Here is also a very famous sunset point, which is nice but if I had to choose I would prefer the Ubein point.

Several monks were here to have a chat with tourist, which is always very instructive and interesting.

Plenty of temple cats and a great view of Mandalay make this a favourite spot for sunset shots.
Walking up the stairs from the bottom can be a bit exhausting especially if you take the steeper Western staircase.
But there is also a lift nearby the car park if you happen to drive up.

Nice hilltop pagoda with aeriel views over the city. We visited on a cloudy evening so it wasn't too busy. Sunset was still nice though. We paid 1000 kys tourist fee when we got to the top.

I rented a bycicle to to get up here, it was heavy ride but the view is amazing enough to feel that it was worth it!
I like to see from high ground what around me is.
If you arrive to the top you can take a long stairs up or an elevator if you are too tired. See around Mandalay and the Naga statues.

You can't miss it if you stay in Mandalay. Very beautiful sunset with a peacful environment, you can sit down at the floor or stand at the side to enjoy the moment. But, you gonna prepare that you need to take the escalator uphill without shoes and have to borrow their slipper for the toilet, you have to pay 200kyat for toilet fee.

Definitely a must visit in Mandalay. The hike up takes around 30-40 minutes and must be walked barefoot, which is not a problem. The view from the top is stunning and the pagodas beautiful

At the top of the hill is the Sutaungpyei (literally wish-fulfilling) Pagoda.

A panoramic view of Mandalay from the top of Mandalay Hill alone makes it worthwhile to attempt a climb up its stairways. There are four covered stairways called saungdan leading up the hill from the south, southeast, west and north, and convenient seats of masonry work line these stairways all the way up. A one-way motor road today saves time and also makes it accessible for those who are unable to climb up the stairs, leading to an escalator and a lift to the pagoda at the summit.

Mandalay high hill view, here is the top Pagoda in Mandalay. We impress that lot of people exercise by walking from down to top of hill but we drive because short trip before flight back home.

The Su Taung Pyae big different and smaller than Shwe Dagon in Yangon but you will see whole town and understand Mandalay landscape more. Please donate more than MMK 1,000 and pray for your family.

Love the sunset view from here. The sunlight reflecting on the colorful walls and floors make the Pagoda so beautiful. We were there around an hour before sunset so we had plenty of time touring around different areas and finding our favorite spot for sunset shots.

We did a sunrise Myself walk from the Mandalay Palace all the way to the top to Su Taung Pyae Pagoda today. I took us about 3 hrs return as we made the effort to view most of the Buddha's and Pagodas on the way up. The 360 view from the top was awesome and we heard the Monk chanting all the way up across the sound systems. I would recommend this hill hike to everyone. If you dont like exercise or dont have much time you could get a car to drive you up most of the way.

Beautiful Pagoda located on the Mandalay hill were you can the in 360 degrees angle. You can get up either by feet or by car.

It was a great temple of Buddha.....started walking from the base to reach the hill... It took 30 minutes to walk to the top of the hill.... spent some time at the temple and again started walking down and from there to my hotel room.... it took almost 2 hours walk from there.... but it was good and cool.....

Located in Mandalay hill, you can get to the top pagoda with motorbike (entrance fee 300 Kyat for 2 persons ). Shoes Loker fee 100 Kyat for 2 persons. entrance pagoda fee for foreigner 1000 Kyat/person.

one of the best place in mandalay. So many tourists are coming here to pray and to feel the sunset. Nice place. Highly recommend to you.

Great restored pagoda with beautiful glass mosaic.
Go there when the light is vertical in the morning or evening.

I highly recommend the North entrance.
Combine the ascend with visiting the Shwekyin monastery.

Thousand stairs to goes up here if you take a walk from the main gate. Located on the top of Mandalay Hill, so good for sunrise or sunset if you're lucky. Just K1000 for foreigner.

Lovely view. Nice walk, you're up in 30 minutes if you take it easy so don't listen to the tuktukdrivers. Only 1000 ks entry. Liked this most in mandalay!
