SAGAING
OVERVIEW |
| Located on the Ayeyarwady River, 20 km to the southwest of Mandalay on the opposite bank of the river. Sagaing is the capital city of Sagaing Division in Myanmar. Sagaing is a religious and monastic center, with numerous Buddhist monasteries. Sagaing became the capital of an independent Shan kingdom around 1315 after the fall of Bagan. Its period of importance was short, for in 1364 the founder's grandson, Thado Minbya, moved his capital across the river to Inwa. From 1760 to 1764, Sagaing was once again the capital. Today, Sagaing is known as a meditation centre. Myanmars all over the country would visit Sagaing for the purpose of religious retreat.
