I recommend you make the effort to climb Yankin Hill, if only for the view. The rice paddies of Mandalay and the foothills of the Shan mountains offer a view that I am not about to forget.
The climb only took me about ten minutes. Between the trees and the stone steps that lead to the top of the hill you will come across several golden statues of fish, deer and Buddhas, to which it would be welcome to make an offering. You will enjoy the full view from the summit and will be able to pay tribute to the statue of a sitting Buddha that you will find there. From there, I recommend you pay a short visit to the Atula Maha Mya Kyauk pagoda, which is truly beautiful.
