1. Pay attention to access.

It is necessary that every tourist who travels to Myanmar will be inspected by China Customs. Usually, every time you go to a place, some of your expenses, including transportation, accommodation, meals and other expenses, are filled in by a charging unit on the foreign currency application form, and then stamped before you can release it.

If you carry more than two thousand dollars in equivalent currency, you need to declare it to the customs officer.

When you leave this country, there are many rules. You can't bring China antiques to Myanmar. In addition, if you spend a lot of money during your trip to Myanmar, the customs will also check them. Therefore, you must keep proper receipts for your major expenses in Myanmar.

2. Taboos in Myanmar

Myanmar is a country where everyone believes in Buddhism. Many people here believe in Buddhism. There are many pagodas and temples everywhere. Burmese people generally like quiet places. As long as they have time, they will return to the stupa here to burn incense and worship Buddha.

Pray for your own peace, no matter whether you can enter or not, Buddhism in Myanmar has certain requirements, that is, you must wear slippers when you arrive at the temple, because in the hearts of Burmese, idols are untouchable and sacred, while shoes are dirty and cannot be contaminated with Buddha statues. This is a kind of respect for Buddha.

3. Public security situation and traffic safety

Myanmar has a good public security situation, simple folk customs and few major criminal cases. Myanmar's traffic is backward and the domestic roads are in poor condition. The traffic between major cities should be by plane. The traffic safety is in good condition, and the traffic laws and regulations are basically consistent with those in China. You can change your local driver's license with a domestic driver's license or an international driver's license, and you have to pay 40 dollars to change your driver's license.

Driving in Myanmar requires a local driver's license. Generally, both parties can solve traffic accidents through consultation. The traffic laws in Myanmar are very strict.
