Mandalay Hill is a must visit place when you are in Mandalay. The first thing that will grab your attention is a pair of huge lion statues guarding the stairway that leads to the hill. The Hill is 230m above sea level, providing a scenic view of the entire city. The sunrise and sunset at this hill is a must-see. Some tourists even risk climbing the stairway of the hill barefooted only to witness the beautiful scenery.
