We then spent the rest of our tour of Mandalay inspecting Burma's industrial revolution. As you can see, Burma is unlikely to be the next export dynamo coming out of Asia. While the factories are antiquated, the city itself has got a pretty modern, bustling city center. Chinese investment has been pouring into the country, and Mandalay is a big beneficiary of this. As a result, the business district looks quite similar to a small Chinese city.
