Shwe Kyin Monastery in Mandalay



In the late afternoon on our next to last day in Mandalay we visited the Shwe Kyin Monastery. It was a large complex of buildings to accommodate the many student monks. We got to see the long procession of praying monks at dusk and the appearance of the place in the dark.
