People around Mandalay | Myanmar

My time in Mandalay was about three days; during those days wandered around within the city, mainly the outskirt of the town, where you can find a more traditional Burmese lifestyle than in the city itself.

There is so much diversity here, monasteries, art and crafts workshops, and of course, rural areas. In this post, I share portraits and daily life captured in very different places. I’ll make another post soon dedicated to landscapes.

Visiting Mandalay and surrounding areas was a great experience, as in other parts of the country, people were always very welcoming.
