Fascinating Inwa

Inwa is a cool place to visit. I got here via my hired taxi from Mandalay and I had this place included on my Ancient cities tour. The Inwa trip starts out by taking a Ferry boat ride across the river. Then we took a beautiful horse cart ride to Bagaya Kyaung which is an awesome Teak Monastery. There are many smaller Pagodas and other ruins in the area too!

Scott, Inwa is so amazing. So many lost treasures. I wonder why UNESCO doesn't considere it world heritage. Inwa deserves it better than many other places. Lovelly
