  • Shwenandaw Monastery is a religious site, so dress respectfully and ensure your shoulders and knees are covered.

  • Only men are allowed to go inside the main room of the monastery to see the Buddha image.

  • The best-preserved teak panels are inside the Shwenandaw Monastery—they depict the Jataka tales, which document the past lives of the Buddha.

  • There’s no signage to explain the carvings, so visiting with a guide enhances your experience and provides important cultural context.
