Shwenandaw Kyaung, or the Golden Palace Monastery, is a temple constructed largely of teak which is located near the Royal Palace in Mandalay. To enter to Shwenandaw Monastery you need to buy a ticket for the Mandalay Archaeological Zone which costs $10 and lasts for week, allowing visitors ample time to visit other attractions in the archaeological zone such as Mandalay Palace and Kuthodaw Paya.
There’s not quite so much of the gold left that once covered the wood, but its ornately carved teak is arguably even more impressive. Built in 1880 of carved teak, Shwenandaw Monastery was originally part of the imperial palace at Amarapura. About five years before the British arrived it was moved, in part because the king’s father had died in the building—you can still see the bed chamber where he died—and the new king preferred not to be constantly reminded of it. It now sits on a site near the base of Mandalay Hill, in the north of Mandalay.
