Kyaymyin Monastery (Burmese: ကြေးမြင့်ကျောင်း), also known as the Yandabo Ywaza Monastery (Burmese: ရန္တပိုရွာစားကျောင်း) is a historic royal Buddhist monastery in Mandalay, Burma. The monastery, located on 62nd Street, was originally established by the village chief of Yandabo, in 1878.[1] It was subsequently renovated by Kyaymyin Mibaya, a minor consort of King Mindon Min.[1][2] The monastery’s roof is three-tiered and engraving works on the entrance stairs are impressively featured.
