6. U Bein Bridge
Stretching across the calm waters of Taungthaman Lake near Amarapura, Myanmar, the U Bein Bridge is both beautiful and historic. Built around 1850, it’s the world’s longest and oldest teakwood bridge, spanning 1.2 kilometers with 1,086 teak pillars.
The wood came from the old royal palace of Inwa, giving the bridge a special connection to Myanmar’s past.
Locals still use it every day; children walk to school, fishermen cast their nets, and villagers head to market. But the real magic happens at sunset, when the sky turns gold and the lake reflects every color.
Whether in morning mist or evening glow, U Bein Bridge is more than a crossing, it’s a piece of living history.
