Amarapura is a city in the Mandalay Division of Myanmar, situated 11 km to the south of Mandalay. It is often referred to as Taungmyo (Southern city) to distinguish it from Mandalay (Northern city) but nowadays the two have become continuous from urban sprawl.
The city is known today for its traditional silk and cotton weaving, and bronze casting. It is a popular tourist day-trip destination from Mandalay.
