This is the U Bein footbridge, one of my favorite sites on our recent trip to Myanmar, formerly Burma. The bridge, located in a township of Mandalay called Amarapura, was built in 1782 and stretches 1.2 kilometers over Lake Taungthaman. It is made of teak recycled from the palace of a former king, when the capital moved to Mandalay. The bridge is particularly lovely at sunrise or sunset.
