Shwe In Bin Monastery
ရွှေအင်ပင်ကျောင်း
A teak monastery funded in 1895 by two Chinese jade merchants, with intricate wood carvings on its exterior that feel quieter than the Golden Palace Monastery.
Shwe In Bin Monastery was built in 1895 with funding from two Chinese jade merchants. The whole building is raised on teak supports, with layered roofs. The galleries, railings and lintels are covered in fine woodcarvings depicting Jataka tales and mythical creatures, and it is well preserved. It is less famous than the Golden Palace Monastery, so visitors are few, and the atmosphere is peaceful. It is still an active monastery. It lies on 89th Street in southwest Mandalay and can be visited together with Mahamuni Pagoda in a half day. Entry is free, but donations are welcome.
