About the U Bien Bridge

The U Bien Bridge is in Amarapura about 12 km from Mandalay City. The U Bein Bridge is a strong contender for being the longest teak bridge in the world. The U Bien Bridge is 1.2 km long and is supported by over a 1,000 teak wood pillars. The U-Bien Bridge crosses the Taungthaman Lake creating an easy route between the two urban areas on either side of the lake. The U Bien Bridge is open to visitors all year round at all times and is free to visit. The most popular time to visit is at sunset.

The U Bien Bridge was constructed in the 1850s during a time when the royal city was being relocated from Amarapura to nearby Mandalay. The royal city in Amarapura was largely dismantled for use in building the new royal city. The U Bien Bridge is believed to have been originally built using wood left behind after the rest of the Inwa Royal Palace was transported to Mandalay to build new palaces. As well as being the longest teak bridge, the U Bien Bridge may be one of the largest recycling projects of the 19th Century.
