Nyaung U Market

Why Nyaung U Market is special ?

Nyaung U Market is a local market in the village of Nyaung U to the northeast of Bagan. A bustling river town with more action than is on offer elsewhere in Bagan, Nyaung U is where most independent travellers hang their hat (or backpack). The Nyaung U Market provides great photo opportunity, and also the chance for tourists to mingle with the local Myanmar people, and watch how they conduct their daily lives. The market is divided into different sections selling different items, and includes a wet market. There is a section selling rattan items, another selling tealeaves - a delicacy in Myanmar, yet another selling clothes.
