Situated about 11 km south of Mandalay, Amarapura is on the shore of the large, placid Taungthaman Lake. It was the capital city immediately before Mandalay. The modern town of Amarapura is often referred to as Taung Myo, meaning "The Southern City" to distinguish it from Mandalay, the Northern City. The old name means "The Immortal City" and Amarapura is the place of the traditional weaving in silk and cotton.
You can see the local handlooms and buy at reasonable prices lovely silk material with traditional Myanmar patterns and designs. Of particular interest is the 1.2 km long U Bein Bridge, solid teak wood planks and supports have stood for more than two centuries.
