Inwa, located only a few miles the south of Amarapura, was for centuries
the most important royal capital in Myanmar. Inwa was founded at the
confluence of the Myitnge and Ayeyarwady rivers, and surrounded on all
sides by water due to the many canals. To enter the ancient royal city,
you still have to take a ferry across the Myitnge River; waiting on
the other side are horses and carriages to bear visitors around the
widely scattered ruins. Some sections of the former city wall still
survive.
Interesting places in Inwa (AVA): Nanmyin, Maha Aung Mye Bonzan
Monastery, Bagaya Monastery, Lawka Tharapu Pagoda
