U Bein Bridge is a crossing across Taungthaman Lake near Amarapura, close to Mandalay city in Myanmar. Stretching for about 1.2km, it is the longest teakwood bridge in the world. U Bein is one of the most popular attractions in Mandalay for tourists who come here to witness the magical sunset over the bridge.
Sunrise time is also the best time to visit U Bein bridge as you can see local fishers heading out across the lake, along with beautiful sunrise views. The bridge was built in 1850 from wood reclaimed from the former Palace in Inwa. It consists of over 1100 wooden pillars across the lake, a few of which have been replaced by concrete posts.
