Very old and ancient wooden monastery. Recommend to visit the place early in the morning or if not possible during lunch time to avoid loud and rude travel groups. The place is worth to stay quiet to enjoy the old art. There is a entrance fee of 10000 Kyats.

A east west dirctions, wooden monastery. So that you might see the sun light through the windows shining on buddha statues and inside rooms. I thing here is the one to make ticket worthy.

Pakhangyi Monastery, officially known as Kyaungdawgyi is a Buddhist monastery in Yesagyo Township, Magway Region, Myanmar. The wooden monastery was built by Pho Toke and Daw Phae, and was built using 254 teak pillars that range from 50–90 inches each in height.

In the land of one million pagodas, Shwenandaw stands out not because of its size or gold ornaments, but because of the material that was used to build it, namely wood. Given that the wood or the veneer that covered it have not been maintained for a long time gives the place extra character, not that it lacked it in the first place. If there is a pagoda that you cannot pass up in Mandalay, let it be this one. It's relatively small and you won't need to allocate that much time to visit it, unless you want to.
