Nyaung U Village is a village to the northeast of Bagan. It is renowned for its market, which provides a great photo opportunity to tourists visiting Bagan, and also a chance for them to mingle with the local people and watch how they conduct their daily affairs. 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.
The Nyaung U Market is not far from one of Bagan's famous pagodas, the Shwezigon Temple.

About this website
Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.
While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
