The main religious beliefs in Myanmar are Buddhism, Christianity, Islam and Hinduism. Among them, Buddhism spread to the south and was believed by the vast majority of Burmese people, with believers accounting for about 87% of Myanmar's population. Christianity was introduced into Myanmar around the beginning of16th century. At present, Protestant Baptists and Roman Catholics have the greatest influence.

Burmese people think that the head is the noblest place for a person, and they don't like people touching their heads. Women's skirts are regarded as unclean, and it is forbidden to dry above the head, and it is forbidden to walk under the dried women's skirts. When you enter a Buddhist temple or visit a stupa, you must take off your shoes and socks, and you can't be "equal" with monks. Women should not touch monks' robes or bodies at will.

Before entering other religious sites such as Islam and Catholicism, you should ask in advance whether you can enter. If the other party does not welcome non-believers, please do not visit by force. In addition, it is extremely impolite for Burmese people to touch children's heads at will, use their feet to instruct, kick things or touch people.
