Arrival to Mandalay by domestic flight, continue from airport to Amarapura and visit YADANAGU NAT SHRINE. This is the shrine of POPA MEI WUNNA (the mother of the two TAUNG PYONE brothers). According to legend, she came to TAUNG PYONE from MOUNT POPA and apologized to King Anawratha for her sons. When she got to Amarapura, she heard of the execution of her sons and she died on that spot. She became the guardian spirit of the area, and people made a shrine for her. The annual Nat festival there takes always place one week after the TAUNG PYONE Nat festival. Continue to Mandalay, check in at hotel. Lunch to own account.
