Mingun is another ancient city that has essentially disappeared, leaving just some world-record relics as a reminder of better times. It's only reachable by boat, about a two hour trip up the river. The river trip is pretty much like it was on the Road to Mandalay, but since you're only a few inches above the water, and sometimes covered in water, it's a lot more exciting. At the end of the trip, you come to a very laidbacklanding, where some kids tug your boat ashore.
