Sandamuni Pagoda

Beautiful site with countless pagodas. It’s free to walk in but you can also leave a donation if you wish to. I would recommend visiting early in the morning or late afternoon before sunset to avoid the heat.
Toilets are available outside the complex, a short 2 minute on the right hand side of the main gate. There are also plenty of food stalls at the exit.
There is enough place to park a car outside.

It is a beautiful pagoda which is covered with thousands of pagodas ! Actually the main golden pagoda is surrounded with 1700 of white little little pagados and it is a beautifull sight !! You will also get a areal view of this pagodas from mandalay hill !! And it is must visit

One of my most favourite Payas in Mandalay. Much quieter than alot of others. Beautiful to photograph at all times of the day and many quiet places to pray.

A sea of whitewashed stupas sets Sandamuni Pagoda apart from the thousand other pagodas that you will likely visit in Mandalay. If you take your time to observe the architecture, you will be rewarded with intricate details, linear perspectives and geometric patterns. A favorite place for marriage pictures, the brightly colored clothes of brides-to-be will contrast with the stark whiteness of the pagodas. Monks in saffron robes compete for your attention. During the visit, I did not mind being barefoot because I felt like I was floating on a magic carpet.

We checked this temple out on our walk back from the top of Mandalay hill at Sunrise. Was well worth the visit. We were here mid morning and it wasn't crowded and not to Hot.

This is actually a better sightseeing experience than Mandalay Hill due to the fact it sees far less visitors. Not much shade around the large central stupa, so go earlier in the day to beat the heat.

Beautiful temple, try to arrive there late afternoon to meet its poudre-white pagodas in the rays of the setting sun. Gorgeous!

One of the largest pagodas In Mandalay.
The Sandamuni Pagoda (also Sandamani, because it contains the largest iron Buddha, the "Sandamani"), or Paya, is located to the southeast of Mandalay Hill and bears a resemblance to the nearby Kuthodaw pagoda because of the large number of slender whitewashed ancillary stupas on the grounds.

I can't go to inside white stupa, I don't know why but all gate are locked when I arrive there. Parking fee for motorbike 300 Kyat

Very well decorated Pagoda just beside the Royal Palace. Worth visiting at evening. Open till 8pm.

This is such a stunning pagoda. There were only about 4 people when I went so it was quite peaceful.

The most unique of this place is that there is thousands of small temples. My buddhas friend said that in each temple, Buddha’ masrer enchant a spell inside. I dont know whether it’s right, but it is a feeling of peach in each pagoda I go. Feel that I can spend the rest of my life here

Very cool! Many stupas with marble slabs, and very pretty and well maintained.

Nice place to visit. We have been there at the evening without tourists and it was good idea I thing.

Beautiful place to see the sunset. The colour it’s just magical! Free entrance

Free entry, right across the street from Kuthodaw Pagoda, and next to the climb up Mandalay Hill. Bring a bag to carry your shoes & socks.

The congested ones, too close enough to not let you go inside, but just wonder why so many!!

One of the most biggest library and beautiful pagoda.

Very peaceful place with good vibes, so quite and beautiful

"The biggest book" in the world. Very good atmosphere
