Myanmar / Attractions around Mandalay / Ava

Of the ancient royal town of Ava, about 20 kilometers southwest of Mandalay, almost nothing is left. All the major buildings, which were not destroyed during the earthquake of 1838, had been transferred first to Amarapura and then to Mandalay. You can still visit preserved parts of the town wall and an old sentry tower. It had partly collapsed during the 1838 earthquake, but its lower part remained standing even though at a distinct angle. Jokingly this old sentry tower is called the slanting tower of Ava.
