Is it safe to travel to Myanmar now?

Now mirror tourism has resumed. As a Buddhist country in Southeast Asia, Myanmar has beautiful scenery and a long history. It has become the latest tourist hotspot in the world and a tourist destination that many domestic tourists yearn for. So what are the must-see attractions in Myanmar's tourism strategy?

Must-see attractions in Myanmar's tourism strategy i. Shwedagon Pagoda in Yangon

The Shwedagon Pagoda in Yangon is located on Mount St. Dinggudala, which is a high-lying place in Yangon and the core of local Buddhist beliefs. The cone-shaped main tower is nearly 100 meters high. The tower is wrapped in gold foil and surrounded by thousands of gold and silver bells. The top of the tower is inlaid with countless gems, and there is a 76-carat giant diamond at the top of the tower. The dazzling Shwedagon Pagoda is brighter when the sun shines obliquely in the morning and evening, and there are lights on at night, which is magnificent. As a must-see attraction in Yangon, many people come here to worship Buddha every day, especially during the festival.

Shwedagon Pagoda is the local sacred pagoda, which also enshrines the relics of four buddhas. Many people sit on the platform to worship Buddha and pray, or meditate and recite scriptures in the Shwedagon Pagoda, which is very pious. You can circle the Shwedagon Pagoda clockwise to see what it looks like, then visit the Golden Buddha Temple, enjoy the jade Buddha statues and learn about the local Buddhist culture.

Two or five bridges

Ubuntu Bridge is located near the ancient city of Amarapura, across East Taman Lake, with a total length of about 1.2km, and is the longest teak bridge in the world. It was built in the Matong period of the Kampong Dynasty, and the piers, bridges and planks for paving the bridge are all made of precious teak, which has been immortal after a hundred years of wind and rain. The sunset at Ubuntu Bridge is very romantic and is one of the most famous sights in Myanmar. At sunset, people will come and go on Ubuntu Bridge. You can walk on Ubuntu Bridge before sunset. There are six pavilions at the bridge head, the middle of the bridge and the end of the bridge, which symbolize the "six spirits" of Buddhism. It is said that when Burmese people are in love, they will come all the way here to board the bridge and pray that these six spirits of harmony and mutual respect will be preserved forever to make love last longer. Therefore, Ubuntu Bridge is also called "Lover Bridge" by local people. As the sun sets, Ubuntu Bridge is dyed orange by the afterglow of the setting sun, and the silhouette of dead trees by the lake is meaningful. You also have the opportunity to meet monks in red and colorful girls crossing the bridge in droves. There are docks at both ends and in the middle of the bridge. Many tourists will swim around the lake in wooden boats, overlook the sunset and take pictures of the classic dusk scene of Ubuntu Bridge.

Three. bogyoke market

Aung San market is also called General Weng Shan market, and local people call it General Market. If you want to shop in Yangon, the best choice is Aung San Market, which has been named after Myanmar's "father of independence" General Aung San for more than 70 years. Sell jewelry, cloth, handicrafts, etc. The appearance of the market building is also British colonial style, even if it is just a visit, it is worth a visit. The market is divided into eight areas, including clothing, handicrafts, gem areas, seafood, fruits and vegetables, household appliances and so on. , with nearly 2000 booths. Every day, tens of thousands of tourists and locals come here to shop, which is quite famous in Yangon and even Myanmar, and can be called a shopping paradise for foreign tourists.

4. Mandalay Mountain

Mount Mandalay, located in the north of downtown Mandalay, was once called Mount Rogue and is a famous Buddhist shrine in Myanmar. This is also the highest mountain in Mandalay, with an altitude of 23 1.6 meters. Standing on the top of the mountain overlooking the whole city of Mandalay is an excellent place to watch the sunrise and sunset. The main entrance of Mandalay Mountain is located on the south side. There are several temples and pagodas worth seeing at the foot of the mountain, which attract many tourists and believers. For example, the Gudu Taofo Pagoda and Shandamuni Pagoda, which are famous for their Buddhist scriptures and stone tablets, are nearby with beautifully carved Golden Hall and Teak Hall. I suggest dropping in on them. Come to the top of Mandalay, where there is an Indian temple Sutaungpyei.

The wall columns of the pagoda are inlaid with broken glass and shine in the sun.

There is a terrace in the temple, which is a good place to enjoy the panoramic view of Mandalay city. Many tourists will come to watch the beautiful sunset at night.

Is it safe to travel in Myanmar? Now, visitors to Myanmar for the first time always feel that the gathering here is chaotic and the law and order is not good. In fact, when formulating the travel strategy, we give priority to the areas with relatively developed urban tourism resources in Myanmar, such as Yangon, Mandalay, Bagan and Rhine Lake, rather than the chaotic areas along the border of the Golden Triangle.

Moreover, Myanmar is a multi-ethnic country and believes in Buddhism. Most people are simple and kind. Even if I go to Bagan to take a carriage and put my bag on the carriage of the carriage owner, I don't worry about throwing away cash and articles, because there are many Buddhist believers here and few social gangsters. However, caution is still a necessary quality for a mature tourist. It is best to hide and expose the money, especially for China people who like to carry a lot of cash. Remember not to wander in remote and sparsely populated places at night, so as not to cause great disaster.

How many days does it take to go to Myanmar? The classic feature of Yangon is the Shwedagon Pagoda, which has the affinity of a thousand monks. You can also reach Mandalay-Bagan-Rhine Lake directly. Mandalay arranged for 2 days, Bagan for 3 days, and Rhine Lake 1 day, which was basically completed in one week. There is a lot of intercity traffic here, so you can choose to stay up late to visit the scenery. Finally, leave the country by plane from Mandalay or Yangon.
