Yaw Mingyi Monastery, Buddhist monastery in Mandalay, Myanmar.
The brick structure of Yaw Mingyi Monastery stands out with its European-influenced design and detailed plaster carvings throughout the building complex.
Built in 1866 under Pho Hlaing's patronage, the monastery survived World War II Allied bombing while losing its wooden infrastructure but maintaining its brick foundation.
The monastery functions as an educational center where monks study Buddhist scriptures and maintain traditional Theravada Buddhist practices throughout the year.
Visitors can access the monastery through local transportation from central Mandalay, with recommended visiting hours during morning meditation sessions.
The monastery's architectural design was influenced by an Italian hotel, making it different from traditional wooden monasteries in Myanmar.
