An ornately carved temple that must have been spectacular in its heyday but now in need of restoration. Its surrounded by the old dwellings of the resident monks, but its eerily quiet.Note the sign to remove slippers (shoes), but then you walk around on the ground barefoot - unusual vs only entering a prayer hall.On the one side, the wooden gates at the top of the staircases are open and you can go to the first level and enter the prayer hall upstairs.
Very nice and very peaceful monastery with the central structure entirely made of wood on stilts, more than 100 years old. Entrance is free but you can leave an offer for the renovation of the building. The best time to visit is early morning or before sunset as it becomes very hot there after 11am like in other places in Mandalay.
There are three wooden monasteries in mandalay, shwenandaw,bagaya and shweinbin monastery,all the three monasteries are wooden temples and very similar to each other.This is my personnel view and my opinion only.If you visit either one of the monastery,there would be no need to visit the other two monastery,the best of the three would be Shwenandaw monastery which is quite close to the palace and within the city centre
Absolutely stunning teak wood monastery. A little away from downtown but absolutely worth it. Also a meditation hall.
An old historical monastery.
Informative place. A little sad the monks were eating when we visited so we could not get a glimpse of their daily life.
I was the only visiting person at the time. Beside me, there were only some monks. Beautiful.
It is the place to enjoy the beauty of wood carvings.
Quiet and nice place. Surprisingly no tourists at all. Good to have a look if you are around.
Really great impression. Original very rich wood carved decorations ! Definately worth visiting. Were lucky to see it almost alone without turist traffic. Being in Mandalay you should go there !
Beautiful ancient monastery.
This is an amazing tranquil place with great woodwork all around you. You can walk around and enjoy the teak woodcraft on architecture and then meditate inside.Recommended!!
Beautiful place with walls transpiring its history!
By far the cutest pagoda Ive seen. The one in Innwa is not half what youll see there. None seems to know it so its very empty but this is such a nice place. The sculptures on the doors and walls, the pillars under which you can walk, the for-once-not-shiny temple inside. A place to see
Ancient Buddhist Temple with amazing wooding archaeological craft, the best place to visit.
Amazing architexture of ancient Burmas architects

The monastery was built in 1895 by a Sino-Burmese merchant. The construction of the monastery was made entirely of teak. The actual temple develops on the first floor supported by a forest of pillars that form a large room on the ground floor. Although not ancient, this construction is very suggestive and particular for its delicate woodwork. It is located in a quiet area surrounded by greenery.
Beautiful old teak monastery. It was founded in 1895 by two rich jade merchants.Absolutely worth seeing.

Very beautiful monastery, also very old. We had the chance to visit it alone. A Burmese showed us around spontaneously. A good discovery, and a great moment of sharing with this man who was keen to show us the heritage of Myanmar.Definitely worth a visit !!
It was a little far from the center, so it was 15,000 kyat for a motorcycle taxi and 20,000 kyat for a tuk-tuk from the royal palace. The entrance was small and a little difficult to understand, so the tuk-tuk driver seemed to come here for the first time and was lost. The inside of the hall is made of wood, so the soles of your feet are not hot! !! And for some reason there is an outlet. (Can I charge my cell phone?) There is nothing inside, but the sculptures on the building are just amazing. Its quaint, quiet with few tourists, and worth a visit.
Beautiful place
Beautiful carved wood.
