Shweinbin Monastery, Teak Buddhist monastery in Mandalay, Myanmar.

The monastery structure exhibits detailed wooden carvings throughout its walls and features multiple tiered roofs in traditional Burmese architectural style.

A Chinese merchant named U Set Shwin, who married into Burmese royalty, established this religious complex in 1895 as a dedication to Buddhist practice.

The monastery maintains its function as a spiritual center where 35 monks practice Theravada Buddhism and participate in daily meditation rituals.

Located at the intersection of 89th Street between 38th and 39th Streets in Mahar Aung Myay Township, the monastery welcomes visitors during daylight hours.

The structure retains its original teak foundation from 1895, demonstrating exceptional preservation of traditional Burmese woodworking techniques.
