Myanmar is
popularly known as the "Golden Land". The country is
rich in historical heritage, traditional culture,
glittering pagodas, mysterious lakes, beautiful
mountain ranges and rivers, unspoiled sandy beaches
and natural beauty. This is a rewarding experience
not only for tourists but also for travelers who
take an interest in discovering its beauty.
Contrary to popular belief, Myanmar is one of the
most peaceful and safe countries in the world and
the old adage "Seeing is Believing" is really true
and whether you travel in towns or villages you will
not fail to notice Myanmar hospitality and see
smiling faces everywhere. The country is also rich
in flora and fauna and is a paradise for bird
watching and hiking.
The traditional costume for Myanmar men is called longyi, which will rival a Scottish kilt. It is the
most practical clothing choice for hot and humid
summer, where the cotton keeps your legs cooler than
khaki trousers. Women wear similar type of longyi,
but they tie a different knot and usually have
flowered patterns.
There are many places to see in Yangon a visit to Shwedagon Pagoda is a must. Mandalay, capital of the
last Myanmar Kingdom proudly boasts its palaces and
the moat surrounding them. Then there is the ancient
Kingdom of Bagan, one of the three most interesting
Buddhist archeological sites in the world.
Mysterious Inle Lake where Inthas row with one leg,
the wonder of the Golden Rock, famous ancient city
of Mrauk-U, Gokteik Bridge the second highest
railway in the world, Mt. Hkakaborazi the highest
peak in South East Asia are some of the interesting
places in Myanmar. But if these do not appeal to
you, you can always fly to the beautiful, unspoiled
white sandy beach of Ngapali and just laze around in
the sun.
