What should I pay attention to when going to Myanmar?

First of all, we should pay attention to the issue of faith. Most people in Myanmar are devout Buddhists, and tourist attractions such as Buddhist temples and pagodas are also common. In the hearts of Burmese people, these places are also the most sacred places. When you step into the stupa and Buddhist temple, you'd better take off your shoes and be respectful to the monks. Ladies should not wear short skirts, and you should not do anything harmful to Buddhist culture, such as making noise, groping and taking pictures. When you bypass the altar, you should also remember to walk from left to right. Burmese people believe that the head is sacred, so go regardless of adults and children, and don't touch others' heads casually. The public security situation in Myanmar is still relatively good, and there are few criminal cases, but I still suggest that everyone travel together. After all, there will be a lot of inconvenience abroad, and the danger will be reduced if accompanied. Be sure to take your important documents with you. If you lose them, call the police immediately to reissue them. Remember to ask for an invoice when shopping to avoid embarrassment when going abroad for customs inspection. Myanmar is located in the tropics and is a high incidence area of tropical diseases. Before you leave, you should prepare more drugs, such as cold and fever, gastrointestinal drugs and so on. It is also recommended that everyone be vaccinated against hepatitis and yellow fever before going out. Prices in Myanmar are similar to those in China, and all kinds of daily necessities are sold in supermarkets. When changing money, I suggest you go to travel agencies and hotels, and remember not to go to the black market. Myanmar's roads are underdeveloped, so it's best to buy a map or travel together to avoid getting lost. Today, Myanmar is still a semi-open country. Except Yangon, Mandalay, Bagan, Inlay Lake and TAUNGGYI, if you want to travel to other places, you must first obtain a travel permit from the Myanmar government, otherwise it will be considered illegal, and many tourists will be arrested every year. Burmese jade is the biggest specialty in Myanmar. If you want to buy some jade articles such as bracelets to take back, you must buy them in the regular market, and remember to get a regular US dollar invoice. If you buy it on the black market, you will be arrested when you leave the country. I hope you buy carefully.

Traveling abroad, after all, is different from your own country in all aspects. First of all, I will introduce you to so many precautions for traveling in Myanmar. I hope you must keep these things in mind before you leave, act cautiously, and don't have some embarrassing things outside the country, so as not to affect your travel mood and the image of Chinese people.
