Recently, due to continuous rainfall, the walls of the Mandalay Royal Palace in the center of Mandalay, Myanmar's second largest city, seeped water and collapsed partially.

Myanmar media "Golden Phoenix" Chinese newspaper on November 1 local time quoted a Myanmar archaeology department expert as saying that the collapse of the city wall is related to the aging of the internal structure and increased rainfall, if not repaired in time, there will be a larger area of damage to the city wall in the short term.

Mandalay Palace was the palace of the Last Feudal Dynasty of Burma, the Kombang Dynasty, which was built in 1857 and completed in 1859. The palace is square in shape, with 2 miles of side length, four main gates and eight side doors. The red brick city wall is 7.9 meters high, with a wide moat outside the wall, and there are 104 large and small temples inside the palace. The Palace was destroyed during World War II, after which the Burmese government restored and rebuilt it on the original site and opened to the public in 1996. (Reporter Gao Jiayi)
