Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Paged
Kyaikthanlan Pagoda
Kyaikthanlan occupies a height of Mawlamyine. The sanctuary and its surroundings are linked to the landscape of the city; the possibility of access to stairs and viewpoints must be verified.
Temple
Mahamuni Pagoda, Mawlamyine
The Mahamuni Pagoda of Mawlamyine is a religious complex distinct from the homonymous temple of Mandalay. The buildings and devotional practices must be approached according to the rules of the place and the current conditions.
Church
St Patrick church, Mawlamyine
The Saint Patrick's Church participates in the built heritage of Mawlamyine. The photograph of the facade does not guarantee internal access; the activities of the community and the state of the building take precedence over a heritage visit.
Walk
Mawlamyine waterfront
Mawlamyine’s riverfront combines water views, buildings and urban activities. Quays and movement restrictions may change; no river crossing is assumed to be available.
