Mandalay, also known as "Wa City", is the second largest city in Myanmar and one of the capitals of ancient dynasties in Myanmar history except Bagan. The Ayeyarwady River is known as the mother river of Myanmar. It not only flows through Bagan, the historical capital of Myanmar, but also flows through the Mandalay area, which is listed as a world cultural heritage by the United Nations. However, the main attraction is U Bein Bridge with its romantic atmosphere and "one of the ten most beautiful sunset spots in the world".

U Bein is an intersection across East Taman Lake, near Amarapura in Myanmar. It takes about half an hour to walk and plays an important role in connecting the two sides of the lake, which greatly facilitates the daily life of the locals.

Built around 1850, the 1.2km bridge is the oldest and longest teak bridge in the world. Construction began when the capital of the Kingdom of Ava moved to Amalapura, and the bridge was named after the mayor who built it. It was used as an important passage for the locals and is now a tourist attraction. In July and August, when the lake is at its highest, traffic is most frequent.

The bridge was built with wood recycled from the Awa Yuan Palace. It features 1,086 struts sticking out of the water, some of which have been replaced by concrete. Although the bridge remains largely intact, more and more pillars are slowly decaying. Damage to these supports was caused by flooding as well as by a fish breeding program introduced into the lake.

Descriptions of Myanmar can be found in many travel magazines or major travel portals. Most of them prefer to use the U Bein Bridge sunset as the cover image for publicity, which seems to have become a national business card. It seems that most of the trips to Myanmar also go to the U Bein Bridge sunset. However, only after you experience U Bein Bridge in person will you know that the sunrise and sunset of U Bein Bridge are as magnificent, as well as the taste of life on and under the bridge.

U Bein Bridge is still an important part of the life of the local people. People come and go on the bridge every day, there are students who cross the bridge to go to school, there are businessmen who come and go, and there are fishermen who have nothing to do... All this gives the U Bein Bridge a fresh breath. There are many stray dogs near U Bein Bridge. They are the "residents" here, and they are always wandering leisurely and contentedly.

The long wooden bridge casts a long series of reflections in the river, the sun rises heralding the start of a busy day, and the golden light shines on the people passing by on the bridge. The fishing boats sailed into the lake, and the fishermen started their day's salvage. From 7:00 to 9:00 in the morning, perhaps the best fishing time, the fishermen parked their fishing boats in the lake and were busy. After that, the boatmen returned to the lake shore one after another to escape the summer heat.

Teak is precious and immortal for centuries. Therefore, in Myanmar, people also cherish the U Bein Bridge as a spiritual totem of marriage and family, and it is the "love bridge" in their minds. There are often local men and women on the bridge dating and exchanging heartfelt feelings. As time goes by, they become famous, and men and women from all over the world come here to bless their love. With the blessing of love, the sunset at U Bein Bridge adds more romance and warmth, and less sadness and loneliness.
