Myanmar
Myanmar or Burma is a Buddhist country in Southeast Asia. It has many interested places such as Yangon (Rangoon); the recent capital city of the Burma, Inle Lake, Mandalay, and the last but not least the temple compound of Bagan (Pagan).
Lying in the delta of Yangon river, Yangon offers so many attractive sights. The boulevards at the city give the tourists a sight of many stalls selling delectable Burmese cuisines. For cigar-loving people, Yangon is the safe haven for them as many huge cigars are prepared for puffing persons here. For historical and religious site, Shwedagon Paya is an ancient temple which its stupa was believed to be built to preserve eight of Buddha’s hairs. Its gold plate radiates the splendor of Burmese shrines.
The last capital of Burmese, Mandalay, is the second largest city after Yangon. It was once the Burmese capital city before the British soldiers annexed the country. Shwenandaw Kyaung; the remaining palace, Mandalay Hill with its spiraling starways, temples including ancient Rakhine Buddha image at Mahamuni Paya are the places the tourists cannot miss in Myanmar.
Another ancient historical and religious city is Bagan where many splendid pagodas and temples are rampant. There are more than 5,000 temples around this city. Located at the banks of the Ayeyarwady, the golden pinnacle of this Bagan spanned over two centuries beginning from 11th to 13th century. The Chinese and Mongol emperor, Kublai Khan once pillaged this city in 1287 AD and it was never rebuilt.
The city of Bago also provides the tourists with seaport sight. It was once the capital city of the lower Burma. This city was devastated in 18th century and restored in the early 19th century. Historical spot includes the Shwemawdaw Pagoda.
For the Burmese culinary lover, the tourists can taste typical foods. As the rice is the main core of Burmese foods, they can savor the rice blended with curry options and spicy vegetable salads. Or as they wish to savor the traditional foods, the tourists can go to the traditional food stalls where original Burmese taste can come into life. In the international restaurants, the ingredients of chili and shrimp paste are detached even though these ingredients are the main Burmese flavor. Sugar cane juice also proffers the traditional streetside drink with cheap price.
