Mandalay Region, Administrative region in central Myanmar.

The Mandalay Region extends across 14,295 square miles of land between Bago Region, Magway Region, Sagaing Region, and Shan State in Myanmar.

The region houses ancient capitals including Bagan, Ava, Amarapura, and Mandalay, reflecting its central role in Myanmar's political history from the 9th century onwards.

Traditional silk weaving in Amarapura produces Acheik longyis while artisans create bronze works, stone carvings, wood sculptures, and gold leaf manufacturing across the region.

The region maintains an extensive network of dams, including Mondaing, Kyetmauktaung, and Pyaungpya, which supply water resources for agricultural production throughout the territory.

The Kuthodaw Pagoda contains 729 stone slabs with inscribed Buddhist texts, forming the largest book in physical form within the boundaries of this region.
