What are the tourist attractions in Myanmar?

Myanmar Scenery

Myanmar is an ancient civilization with a long history. It can be traced back to 5,000 years ago. Humans have inhabited the villages along the Irrawaddy River in Myanmar. It is said that in 200 BC, Pyu entered the upper reaches of the Irrawaddy River and controlled the trade routes between China and India. Two centuries later, the Mon people came to the Sitang River Basin. In 849, the Burmese took over the Sitang River Basin and established Pagan. After the unified country was formed in 1044, it experienced three feudal dynasties: Bagan, Wudong and Gongbang. From 1824 to 1885, Britain launched three wars of invasion of Burma and occupied Burma. In 1886, the British divided Burma into Upper Burma and Lower Burma and became a province of British India.

In 1937, Myanmar separated from British India and was directly ruled by the British Governor-General. Japanese troops occupied Burma in 1942. In 1945, there was a nationwide uprising and Myanmar was recovered. Britain regained control of Burma. In October 1947, Britain was forced to promulgate the Burma Independence Act. On January 4, 1948, Myanmar declared independence from the British Commonwealth and established the Union of Myanmar. In January 1974, it was renamed the Socialist Republic of the Union of Myanmar, and on September 23, 1988, it was renamed the Union of Myanmar. Myanmar is a famous Buddhist country. Buddhism has been introduced to Myanmar for more than 2,500 years. More than 1,000 years ago, the Burmese people began to carve Buddhist scriptures on a tree called Bedoro and made it into the "Bayo Sutra". Li Shangyin mentioned in his poem that I remember the lotus seat and listen to the Bay-leaf Sutra. Among Myanmar’s population of more than 46.4 million, more than 80% believe in Buddhism. Every man in Myanmar must cut his hair within a certain period of time to become a monk. Otherwise you will be looked down upon by society. Buddhists advocate building pagodas, and pagodas must be built to build temples.

There are many pagodas everywhere in Myanmar. Therefore, Myanmar is also known as the country of pagodas. A variety of resplendent pagodas make Myanmar a tourist attraction. Myanmar is a country with a mild climate and beautiful natural scenery. There are lush forests, mist-shrouded mountains, and small rivers flowing quietly in the mountains, showing the country's nature and simplicity everywhere. Due to its geographical location, Myanmar has a pleasant climate all year round, and the attractive scenery here continues to change with climate changes. The Twelve Seasons poem, which is popular in Burmese literary circles, is designed to describe the richness and variety of nature. The Shwedagon Pagoda is a landmark building in Yangon, a symbol of Myanmar, and one of the world-famous pagodas. According to legend, after Buddhism was introduced from India in 588 BC, there were four middle towers and 64 small towers around the main tower. There are Burmese Sphinxes at the four corners of the tower. There is an ancient Bodhi tree in the northeast corner of the tower.

It is said that it was transplanted from the sacred sapling of Sakyamuni Vajra Throne. There are two ancient clocks in the northeast and northwest corners. One of them, about 16 tons, was donated by the King of Myanmar in 1778, and the other, about 40 tons, was donated by the King of Myanmar in 1841. On the south side of the tower is the exhibition hall, which displays Buddhist statues, silverware and other items donated by believers. There are corridor entrances in the east, west, south and north of the Jinta, and there are elevators on the east and west sides. There is an endless stream of pilgrims every day, especially pilgrims during Buddhist festivals. When foreign guests or delegations come here, they will donate more money and inscribe on the guest book. All visitors must take off their shoes and go barefoot when going up to the tower. The construction of Galapa in Myanmar began. There are Buddhist sacred objects such as the hair of Sakyamuni Buddha in the pagoda. When it was first built, it was only 66 feet tall. Since then, successive dynasties of Myanmar gradually raised it to 326 feet in the 15th century, which is its current height and shape. The tower is covered with pure gold leaf. The top of the tower is made of gold, inlaid with various gemstones, and hung with more than a thousand golden bells.

When the wind blows, there are bells everywhere. The entire tower used 8 tons of gold and 1 ton of jewelry. Inlet Lake Inlet Lake is located east to south of the capital of Shan State in Myanmar, about 30 kilometers east to south. It is a plateau lake in Myanmar. The altitude here is about 1,300 meters. Yinlai Lake is about 10 kilometers wide from east to west, 22 kilometers long from north to south, and covers an area of ??1.45 million square kilometers. This is typical corrosion

Inlay's In is the Burmese number 4, and lay is the lake. Mosaic Lake was originally a large lake composed of four small lakes. It is located in a foggy place.

Surrounded by mountains, it is a natural alpine lake with an altitude of more than 2,900 meters and an area of ??158 square kilometers. In recent years, the lake has dried up and shrunk. Ginse Lake is also called Dream Lake and Fantasy Lake by some people. The lake is said to be the home of Inzas Inthas, the lake nymph. There are more than 200 water villages on Ginze Lake, connected by large and small waterways. Each waterway has its own name, just like the land streets. There are also signs at the water crossing, indicating the number of villages and kilometers it leads to, but there are no traffic lights or traffic police.

However, everyone abides by traffic rules, and there will never be any traffic accidents on the vast lake. There are three wonders in Inle Lake: first, there is Iwama, the largest floating market in Myanmar; second, there are rare and unique floating island villages and floating island planting methods; third, there are Yinlai people who row boats with their feet. Mandalay Palace (Royal Palace/Cultural Museum) is located in the center of the ancient city. This was once the palace of the Gongbang Dynasty, the last dynasty of Myanmar. It was destroyed by fire during World War II and is now rebuilt on the same site. In 1989, the Myanmar government began reconstruction based on historical pictures and materials, repaired 89 halls, and completed the construction and opened it to the public in September 1996. There are two places in the palace that you must visit.

One is a 33-meter-high watchtower. After climbing the 121 stairs, you will have a bird's eye view of the entire palace and Mandalay. You can really feel the superiority of the earth under my feet, but be careful, the wooden stairs will make a chirping sound when you climb them. If you use too much force, you may fall. Another must-see is the museum, which has items used by the kings of Myanmar, a small amount of furniture, photos, etc.

is displayed. This is the only place where you can learn about Myanmar’s history. The king's palace is not as big as the Forbidden City in Beijing, but there are many buildings inside, including the main hall, the bedroom where the emperor summoned ministers, and the large harem where his concubines lived. The golden tiles and red walls are all in Burmese style. Unfortunately, they are unfurnished. There is the Ancient Burmese Culture Museum, which displays palace costumes, supplies, and Buddhist artworks. The palace is square in shape, 3.2km long, with four main entrances and eight side entrances. The red brick palace wall has a wide moat outside. There are 104 large and small halls in the palace. The entire building complex is a wooden structure, exquisitely carved and magnificent. The Mandalay Palace model on display this time was specially produced by the Myanmar government for the second China-ASEAN Expo.

This model is 5.5 meters high and has a total area of ??108 square meters. It's made of steel, wood, and lots of hot stamping. The production took three months and cost about 100,000 yuan. In the evening, the setting sun reflects on the turrets of the ancient city, the colorful clouds in the sky, the distant mountains of the ancient city, and the shadows of trees. The reflection in the calm, mirror-like water of the moat creates a tranquil and profound beauty. Karavik Palace is one of the landmarks of Yangon. It is a bird-shaped boat floating in the lake, which is very distinctive. The appearance is magnificent and the interior decoration is luxurious. There is a Burmese folk song and dance performance from 7 to 10 o'clock every night, open in the form of a buffet. On the beautiful Royal Lake, there is Myanmar's most distinctive building, the Royal Mandarin Duck Boat, also known as Karawei Palace.

It looks majestic during the day, and is brightly lit at night, reflecting colorful light. The Teak Palace Hotel on the lakeside is built in Myanmar's royal style and is also a place frequented by foreign dignitaries. Mandalay Mandalay, the capital of Mandalay Province and the second largest city in Myanmar, is located in the central plain of Myanmar and on the east bank of the middle reaches of the Irrawaddy River, with a population of more than 800,000. Mandalay got its name because it has Mandalay Mountain in its back, and because the city of Ava, the famous ancient capital in Myanmar's history, is on its outskirts, it is also called Wa City. In 1856, Mindong, the ninth king of the Li Yong Dynasty of Myanmar, moved his capital here and named it Yadenapang, which means City of Ten Thousand Treasures in Pali. In 1885, after the British occupied Myanmar, the capital was moved to Yangon, and Mandalay became the capital of the last dynasty of Myanmar. Mandalay

Mandalay is located on the east bank of the Irrawaddy River in the central plains of Myanmar, with the Mandalay Mountains in the background. The climate is dry and hot, with the annual maximum temperature of 45 degrees Celsius. It is known as a stove. After the demise of the Bagan dynasty in the 13th century, the Burmese people established the Kingdom of Burma in Mandalay. After dynasty changes, in 1857, King Mintung of the Konbaung Dynasty established Mandalay as the capital of Myanmar until 1885 when Myanmar was destroyed by the British. Among the many ancient capitals in Myanmar's history, only the royal city of Mandalay has been completely preserved, although the royal palace was destroyed and rebuilt.

Mandalay has now become a tourist center, reflecting the glorious past of Myanmar's ancient culture.

When traveling in Mandalay, one is to see Buddhist ruins, the other is to see ancient culture, and the third is to see the pastoral scenery of central Myanmar. Mandalay is not as big or as prosperous as Yangon, but it is more convenient for tourists. Because there are many cars in Yangon, perhaps for safety reasons, there are no bicycles for rent, but in Mandalay, bicycles can be rented easily, which is the most popular way of travel for foreign tourists. Mandalay's most fascinating historical sites are the royal city and palace ruins in the city center. The imperial city is square, with each side more than two kilometers long. The city wall is made of red bricks, about 8 meters high, and surrounded by four turrets. The gate and turret are made of teak, and the spire is covered with gold foil. Teak is a precious tree in the world, and Myanmar is the hometown of teak. The people of Myanmar call it the King of Trees and praise it as the treasure of Myanmar. Teak is tough, fine, hard to crack and resistant to corrosion. In the past, it was designated as royal wood by the Burmese feudal dynasty, so teak was used in the construction of imperial cities and palaces.

There is a wide moat outside the imperial city. The river is full of lotus flowers, and the clear water reflects the reflection of the city wall. There is a magnificent palace in the central area of ??the imperial city, with a magnificent golden hall supported by multiple 15-meter-high gold-lacquered pillars. There is also an elegant and quiet imperial garden in the palace. Craftsmen from China participated in the design and construction of the garden. Unfortunately, this magnificent palace was destroyed by fire during World War II, leaving only ruins. Today, the solemn Myanmar Independence Monument stands in the center of the imperial city. You can also see the pool where princes and princesses used to play in the palace, from which you can vaguely distinguish the glory of the palace in the past.

The well-preserved historic site is Mandalay Hill to the north of the imperial city, facing the wide Irrawaddy River and about 300 meters high. From the top of the mountain you can overlook the entire city. Mandalay Hill was once known as Rogue Hill. It is said that more than 200 years ago, Buddha Sakyamuni sent his disciples to preach here. Pilgrims and tourists have been making the pilgrimage ever since. From the gate guarded by a pair of snow-white stone lions (legendary beasts) near the Bodhi tree at the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, there is a straight road paved with rocks. There are more than 1,000 corridors along the road, which are covered with murals depicting the stories of Buddha. There are more than 3,000 steps along the corridor to the top. There are eight large temples on the top of the mountain with many Buddha statues inside. Among them, a 9-meter-tall Buddha statue is particularly eye-catching and is carved from teak wood. Each rosary bead held by the Buddha statue is as big as a walnut, vivid and beautifully carved. In the southeast of Mandalay Mountain, there is a world-famous Stone Sutra Temple with white pagodas like a forest, also known as Thousand Buddha Temple.

The Thousand Buddha Temple in Mantong was built in 1853 based on the model of the Bagan Rui Ziguang Pagoda and completed in 1857. It has 729 white pagodas, each with a stone tablet embedded in it. In 1871, Mantong invited more than 2,000 eminent monks from Southeast Asian countries to display classics here. Later, the people of Myanmar spent five years engraving the summarized verses on stone tablets and preserving them. Now these inscriptions have become important materials for studying Buddhist culture. The Big Buddha Temple is another famous temple built at the foothills of Mandalay Mountain. There is a fully marble Buddha statue in the temple, surrounded by statues of 80 Buddhist disciples. This Buddha statue was completed in 1865. According to legend, 100,000 people were used to transport the marble for carving the Buddha statues.

There are towering old trees, jagged rocks, and winding mountain roads. Nearly a hundred pagodas are scattered everywhere, either hidden in caves or standing on cliffs. Myanmar's largest monastery is also located here. There are 4,000 pagodas and temples in Bagan, Myanmar. Some of them are still there, and some have collapsed, forming some of the most attractive historical sites in Southeast Asia. Spreading out the map, Bagan is located in central Myanmar, close to the right side of the Irrawaddy River, the largest river in Myanmar. It is about 667 kilometers north of Yangon and about 300 kilometers southwest of Mandalay, Myanmar's second largest city. You can take a long-distance bus from Yangon to Bagan. Very economical, but you have to endure 20 hours of bumpy rides.

The insurance company is not responsible for whether your internal organs are still there when you arrive. This Bagan, known as one of the three major Buddhist holy places in Asia, is recorded as having more than 5,000 pagodas and temples at its peak in the 13th century. Later, it was ravaged by relentless war and a horrific earthquake in 1975.

Take a walk from the single-plank bridge. Brisk walking should take at least half an hour. If you do the math, this wooden bridge uses almost one million cubic meters of high-quality hardwood! Today, there is no country in the world, not even Myanmar, that would not cut down a piece of forest to build such a long wooden bridge. Why did King Yong Mindong build this bridge more than a hundred years ago? It turns out that Wuban is a low-lying land. In the dry season, water accumulates in very low places, and you can take a boat; in the rainy season, the lake water rises, and the lakeside becomes a marsh. The same is true today, which has greatly affected the lives of Wuban people. In order to solve the traffic problem, Mantong decided to build this single-plank bridge. There is a square pavilion at the end of the bridge, of which there are four in total, for those who come to stay to avoid the scorching sun and sudden heavy rain.

Myanmar, a Buddhist country, is full of Buddhist teachings. The six pavilions embody the spirit of the Six Buddhas: that is, living together and living together, speaking the same language, having the same heart and mind, having the same virtues, each expressing his or her own opinions, making progress together, and sharing the same benefits. These are the six harmonious spirits used by young people of all ethnic groups in Myanmar to wish their families a happy life. When you fall in love, you will climb the bridge of love from afar, admire the natural scenery, and swear to always maintain these six spirits of harmony and mutual respect. This has become a traditional new fashion among Myanmar youth. Myanmar’s Yangon Daily published many poems praising love. There is a poem "Love Bridge" written by the young poet Sanyou, which expresses the position of the Love Bridge in the hearts of young people: a colorful arm supports two diligent figures. The graphics under the bridge are green, and the graphics on the bridge are green. Spring flows out from under the Love Bridge, and autumn comes up from the Love Bridge. Love communicates on the rainbow, and melody ripples on the blue waves. The boy has become so handsome and the girl has become so elegant.

The single-plank bridge is in my heart, holding love towards the blue sky. The feeling at that time can only be expressed in four words: relaxed and happy. Wuchang Wooden Bridge has a history of more than 100 years. Every year during the rainy season, water accumulates less than one meter away from the bridge deck. So some of the wood piles have some erosion, but are still pretty solid. Ban, Burmese. Mr. Wu, the board is a tree, which is where the old trees are. There is indeed a row of giant old trees next to the bridge that few people can barely surround. There are gift shops for couples to buy, cold drink shops for resting, and restaurants for dining. Foreigners also like to walk on the Love Bridge. It is said that there are more tourists during public holidays.
