U Bein Bridge, Longest teakwood bridge in Myanmar
U Bein Bridge is a crossing that spans the Taungthaman Lake near Amarapura in Myanmar.
Built around 1850, it is believed to be the oldest and longest teakwood bridge in the world.
The bridge is a central part of local culture, often used by monks and locals for daily commutes.
The best time to visit is during the dry season when the lake's water level is low.
The bridge is named after the mayor who had it built using reclaimed teak columns from the old royal palace.
