Next up was Sagaing Hill. To get there, we crossed one of the two bridges over the Ayeyarwady which I saw as we were entering Mandalay by boat. Win Aung brought me to two sights at Sagaing Hill. Like Mandalay Hill, one can climb up Sagaing and access many temples via what appears to be a series of walkways. I could easily have spent half a day exploring this place.

Win Aung drove me to the top. The first site I visited required some uphill climbing up a covered walkway to U Min Thonze Pagoda, a fascinating temple with lots of Buddha identical statues in a curved row. I also climbed up to other temples beyond this one. The walk was a little treacherous because part of the walkway was inclined and it was on tiles, and these were slippery in the rain. The view from the top was great, though.
