The sun won’t wait for the tourist, who is a bit late for sunset – right!? So here you got the reason, why we were in a bit of a rush today … making our way from Sagaing Hill over the Irrawaddy to the Taung Tha Man Lake and the world famous U Bein Bridge.

U Bein Bridge is – at about 1200m – the world’s longest bridge made from teak wood .. sitting on well more than 1000 support poles.

Boats were waiting for us – and soon we were out on the lake, first cruising a bit (including a trip to the other side of the bridge) and then making it to a good vantage point for sunset-behind-bridge views and photos … below some selected evidence.
