U Bein Bridge

U Bein Bridge

U Bein Bridge was built across Taungthaman Lake in the mid 1800’s out of teak posts. It’s said to be the longest teak bridge in the world at 1.2km long and is the sole link between Amarapura and Taungthaman village. Obviously an attraction, it’s also in heavy use by the locals including a stream of monks on their daily errands.
