Mrauk U

Mrauk U is the youngest of eight ancient royal capitals, located on an isolated plateau in western Myanmar. Inhabited by Rakhine (Arakan) people.

Mrauk-U is the ornament of Rakhine culture. Once, more than six million shrines and pagodas flourished in Mrauk-U. There is rarely any hilltop that does not adorn itself with one pagoda or another.
 

The ancient royal city can be accessed only by boat from Sittwe (Akyab), a Muslim-flavoured capital town. It is about 40 miles away by river from Sittwe.

Age of ancient temples and Buddha statues in this site were dated ranging from 900 to 1700 AD. Crumbling brick temples among the dense vegetation prove the revolution of ancient architectures through centuries.
