Yadanabon Market (Burmese: ရတနာပုံဈေး) is Mandalay's second-largest market. It is between 77th and 33rd and 34th streets, near the Mandalay Central Railway Station.[1][2] The market is now beside the Diamond Plaza.
The market was previously housed on the ground floor of Skywalk Shopping Mall, a five-story complex that included a shopping mall on the first floor and restaurants and offices of the Trading Association and MICT Park on the second floor.[1][2] The shopping mall was built in 2003.[3]
A fire destroyed Yadanabon Market in February 2008.[2] The fire burned for 13 hours, destroying 1,558 shops and injuring 21 people.[4]
In 2009, it was reconstructed as Diamond Plaza and Yadanabon Super Centre.
