Located north of Yangon on the east bank of the Irrawaddy River, the city has a population of 1,225,553 (2014 census). Mandalay is the economic hub of Upper Burma and considered the centre of Burmese culture. A continuing influx of Chinese immigrants, mostly from Yunnan, in the past twenty years, has reshaped the city's ethnic makeup and increased commerce with China.〔〔 Despite Naypyidaw's recent rise, Mandalay remains Upper Burma's main commercial, educational and health center. ==Etymology== The city gets its name from the nearby Mandalay Hill. The name is probably a derivative of a Pali word, although the exact word of origin remains unclear. The root word has been speculated to be ''mandala'', referring to circular plains or ''Mandara'', a mountain from Hindu mythology. When it was founded in 1857, the royal city was officially named Yadanabon (, (:jədənàbòʊɴ)), a loan of the Pali name Ratanapūra () "City of Gems." It was also called ''Lay Kyun Aung Myei'' (, (:lé dʑʊ́ɴ àʊɴ mjè), "Victorious Land over the Four Islands") and Mandalay Palace (, (:mja̰ náɴ sàɴ tɕɔ̀), "Famed Royal Emerald Palace"). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mandalay」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
