We had a nice view of Sagaing Hill from U Min Thonze Caves. U Min Thonze Pagoda located at the top of Sagaing hill – “U Min” means cave and “Thonze” means 30. I liked spending time there at the top of the hill. You need at least an hour to experience this.

I went to Mandalay Hill straight after arriving in Myanmar & was so glad I did. I took a tuk tuk to the base of the hill & was greeted by a friendly novice monk who wanted to practice his English. We chatted all the way to the top & the sunset view was really lovelyI thoroughly enjoyed my visit & highly recommend!
