The first capital of the Shan kingdom around 1315, it kept its role for over fifty years and today it owes its importance above all to the famous hill scattered with temples and stupas. The view on the western bank of the Ayeyarwaddy provide a very picturesque spectacle from across the river, some of which date back to the Bagan period. The caves-monastery housing some XVII century paintings are a curious attraction. The remains of a fort by the riverbank, the silversmiths in the nearby village of Ywataung and the village of Sagaing at the foot of Sagaing Hill are interesting and worth a visit.
