Myanmar is an ancient civilization with a long history, which can be traced back to 5, years ago. Villages along the Irrawaddy River in Myanmar were inhabited by human beings. It is said that in 2 BC, Pyu entered the upper reaches of Irrawaddy River and took control of the trade routes between China and India. Two centuries later, the Mongols came to the Sitang River Basin. In 849, the Burmese took over the Sitang River Basin and established Pagan. After the formation of a unified country in 144, it experienced three feudal dynasties: Bagan, Wu Dong and Gongbang. From 1824 to 1885, Britain launched three wars to invade Myanmar and occupied it. In 1886, Britain divided Myanmar into upper Myanmar and lower Myanmar, and became a province of British India.

In p>1937, Myanmar broke away from British India and was directly ruled by the British Governor. Japanese troops occupied Myanmar in 1942. In 1945, the national uprising, Myanmar recovered. Britain regained control of Burma. In October 1947, Britain was forced to publish the Myanmar Independence Act. On January 4, 1948, Myanmar declared its independence from the Commonwealth and established the Union of Myanmar. In January 1974, it was renamed the Socialist Republic of Myanmar, and on September 23, 1988, it was renamed the Union of Myanmar. Myanmar is a famous country of Buddhism. Buddhism has been introduced into Myanmar for more than 25 years. More than 1 years ago, Burmese people began to carve Buddhist scriptures on a tree called Bedoro and made it into Bayo Sutra. In Li Shangyin's poem, I mentioned that I remember the lotus seat and smell the Bayeux sutra. More than 8% of Myanmar's 46.4 million people believe in Buddhism. Every man in Myanmar must cut his hair and become a monk within a certain period of time. Otherwise, it will be despised by society. Buddhists advocate building pagodas, and pagodas must be built to build temples.

There are many pagodas everywhere in Myanmar. Therefore, Myanmar is also known as the country of stupas. All kinds of magnificent pagodas make Myanmar a tourist attraction. Myanmar is a country with mild climate and beautiful natural scenery. There are lush forests, misty mountains and rivers flowing quietly in the mountains, which show the nature and simplicity of this country everywhere. Due to the geographical location, Myanmar enjoys a pleasant climate all year round, and the attractive scenery here is constantly changing with the climate change. The Twelve Seasons Poetry, which is popular in Myanmar's literary world, is to describe the richness of nature. Red Pagoda Red Pagoda Red Pagoda Red Pagoda Red Pagoda is a landmark building in Yangon, a symbol of Myanmar and one of the world-famous pagodas. According to legend, after Buddhism was introduced from India in 588 BC, there were four middle towers and 64 small towers around the main tower. There are sphinxes of Myanmar in the four corners of the tower. There is an ancient bodhi tree in the northeast corner of the tower.

It is said that it was transplanted from the sacred sapling of the King Kong throne of Sakyamuni. There are two ancient clocks in the northeast corner and the northwest corner. One of them is about 16 tons, which was donated by the king of Myanmar in 1778, and the other is about 4 tons, which was donated by the king of Myanmar in 1841. On the south side of the tower is the exhibition hall, which displays Buddha statues, silverware and other items donated by believers. There are corridor entrances in the east, west, south and north of Jinta, and elevators on the east and west sides. There are an endless stream of worshippers every day, especially pilgrims at Buddhist festivals. When foreign guests or delegations come here, they will donate more money and write inscriptions on the guest book. All tourists must take off their shoes and go barefoot when they go to the tower. Construction began on the Garaba in Myanmar, Wang Ao. The tower contains Buddhist relics such as the hair of Sakyamuni Buddha. When it was first built, it was only 66 feet high. Since then, successive dynasties in Myanmar gradually raised it to 326 feet in the 15th century, which is the present height and shape. The tower is covered with pure gold foil. The top of the tower is made of gold, inlaid with all kinds of precious stones and hung with more than a thousand golden bells.

when the wind blows, there are bells everywhere. The whole tower used 8 tons of gold and 1 ton of jewelry.

The altitude here is about 13 meters. Yinlai Lake is about 1 kilometers wide from east to west and 22 kilometers long from north to south, covering an area of 1.45 million square kilometers. This is typical corrosion.

Surrounded by mountains, it is a natural alpine lake with an altitude of more than 2,9 meters and an area of 158 square kilometers. In recent years, the lake has dried up and shrunk. Silver Lake is also called Dream Lake and Fantasy Lake by some people. It is said that this lake is the home of Inzas Inthas, a fairy in the lake. There are more than 2 water villages on Yinlai Lake, which are connected by large and small waterways. Every waterway has its own name, just like a land street. Shuidaokou also has signs indicating the number of villages and kilometers it leads to, but there are no traffic lights and traffic police.

However, everyone abides by the traffic rules, and there will never be a traffic accident on the vast lake. There are three wonders in Inlay Lake: First, there is Iwama, the largest water market in Myanmar; Second, there are rare and unique floating island villages and floating island planting methods; Third, the silver man who rowed with his feet came. Mandalay Palace (Royal Palace/Cultural Museum) is located in the center of the ancient city. It used to be the palace of the last dynasty in Myanmar, Kampong Chhnang. It was destroyed by fire in World War II and is now being rebuilt. In 1989, based on historical pictures and materials, the Myanmar government began to rebuild and restored 89 halls, which were completed and opened to the outside world in September 1996. There are two places in the palace that must be visited.

One is a 33-meter-high watchtower. After climbing the 121 stairs, you will have a bird's eye view of the whole palace and Mandalay. You can really feel the superiority of the earth under my feet, but you should pay attention to the chirp when climbing the wooden stairs, and you don't know if you will fall if you push too hard. Another must-see place is the museum, where there are items used by the king of Myanmar, a small amount of furniture, photos and so on.

is displayed. This is the only place where you know about the history of Myanmar. The king's palace is not as big as the Forbidden City in Beijing, but there are many buildings in it, including the main hall, the bedroom where the emperor summoned his ministers, and the grand harem where his concubines lived. The golden tiles and red walls are all in Burmese style. Unfortunately, they have no furniture. There is the Museum of Ancient Myanmar Culture, which displays palace costumes, articles and Buddhist artworks. The palace is square and 3.2km long, with four main doors and eight side doors. There is a wide moat outside the red brick palace wall. There are 14 large and small halls in the palace, and the whole building complex is made of wood structure, which is exquisite and magnificent. The model of Mandalay Palace on display was specially made by the Myanmar government for the second China-ASEAN Expo.

This model is 5.5 meters high with a total area of 18 square meters. It is made of steel, wood and a lot of bronzing. It took three months to make it, and the cost was about 1, RMB. In the evening, the setting sun reflects the turrets of the ancient city, the colorful clouds all over the sky, the distant mountains of the ancient city and the shadows of trees. The reflection in the mirror-like moat water creates a quiet and far-reaching beauty. Karavik Palace is one of the landmarks of Yangon scenic spots. It is a bird-shaped boat floating in the lake, which is very distinctive. Gorgeous appearance and luxurious interior decoration. There is a Burmese folk song and dance performance from 7: to 1: every night, which is open in the form of buffet.

Temple of the Great Relic Hotel by the lake is the royal style of Myanmar, and it is also the haunt of foreign dignitaries. Mandalay Mandalay, the capital of mandalay province and the second largest city in Myanmar, is located in the central plain of Myanmar, on the east bank of the middle reaches of the Irrawaddy River, with a population of more than 8,. Mandalay is named after its back on Mount Mandalay, and it is also called Wacheng because the famous ancient capital of Myanmar is in its suburbs. In 1856, Mindong, the ninth king of the Li Yong dynasty in Myanmar, moved the capital here and named it Yad Nadu, which means the city of Wanbao in Pali. In 1885, after Britain occupied Myanmar, it moved its capital to Yangon, and Mandalay became the capital of the last dynasty in Myanmar. Mandalay

Mandalay is located on the east bank of Irrawaddy River in the central plain of Myanmar, with its back to Mandalay Mountain. The climate is dry and sultry, with an annual maximum temperature of 45 degrees Celsius, which is called a stove. After the collapse of the Bagan Dynasty in the 13th century, the Burmese people established the kingdom of Myanmar in Mandalay. After the change of dynasties, in 1857, King Mingdong of Kampong Dynasty built Mandalay as the capital of Myanmar, until Myanmar was destroyed by Britain in 1885. Among the many ancient capitals in Myanmar's history, only the royal city Mandalay has been completely preserved, although the royal palace was destroyed and rebuilt. Mandalay has now become a tourist center, reflecting the glorious past of ancient Myanmar culture.

To travel in Mandalay, one is to see Buddhist sites, the other is to see ancient culture, and the third is to see the rural scenery in central Myanmar. Mandalay is not as big and prosperous as Yangon, but it is more convenient for tourists. Because there are many cars in Yangon, perhaps for safety reasons, there are no bicycles to rent, but in Mandalay, bicycles can be easily rented, which is the favorite way for foreign tourists to travel. The most fascinating historical sites in Mandalay are the imperial city and palace ruins in the city center. The imperial city is square, and each side is more than two kilometers long. The city wall is made of red bricks, about 8 meters high and surrounded by four turrets. The gate and turret are made of teak, and the spire is covered with gold foil. Teak is a kind of precious trees in the world, and Myanmar is the hometown of teak. The people of Myanmar call it the King of Trees and praise it as the treasure of Myanmar. Teak is tough, delicate, not easy to crack and corrosion resistant. In the past, it was designated as royal timber by the feudal dynasty of Myanmar, so teak was used in the construction of imperial cities and palaces.

There is a wide moat outside the Imperial City. The river is full of lotus flowers, and the clear river reflects the reflection of the city wall. There is a magnificent palace in the center of the imperial city. The golden hall is magnificent and supported by many 15-meter-high gold lacquer pillars. There is also an elegant and quiet imperial garden in the palace, and craftsmen from China participated in the design and construction of the garden. Unfortunately, this magnificent palace was destroyed by war during the Second World War, leaving only ruins. Today, the solemn Myanmar Independence Monument stands in the center of the imperial city, and the pool used by princes and princesses to play in the water can be seen in the palace, from which the glory of the former palace can be vaguely distinguished.

The well-preserved historic site is Mandalay Mountain in the north of the Imperial City, facing the wide Irrawaddy River, which is about 3 meters high. You can overlook the whole city from the top of the mountain. Mount Mandalay was once called Rogue Mountain. It is said that more than 2 years ago, Buddha Sakyamuni sent his disciples here to preach the Dharma. Since then, pilgrims and tourists have been making pilgrimages. From the gate guarded by a pair of snow-white stone lions (legendary beasts) near the Bodhi tree at the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, there is a straight road paved with rocks. There are more than 1 long corridors along the road, which are covered with murals depicting the story of the Buddha. There are more than 3 steps along the corridor to the top. There are eight big temples on the top of the mountain, and there are many Buddha statues in them. Among them, a 9-meter-high Buddha statue is particularly eye-catching and carved from teak. Each rosary held by the Buddha statue is as big as a walnut, vivid and beautifully carved. In the southeast of Mandalay Mountain, there is a world-famous Shijingyuan, with a white pagoda like a forest, also known as the Thousand Buddha Temple.

The Thousand-Buddha Temple in Mantong was built in 1853, modeled after the Purple Light Pagoda in Ba Gan Rui, and was completed in 1857. There are 729 white pagodas, each with a stone tablet embedded in it. In 1871, Mantong invited more than 2, eminent monks from Southeast Asian countries to show their classics here. Later, the Burmese people spent five years carving the summarized scriptures on stone tablets and preserving them. Now these inscriptions have become important materials for studying Buddhist culture. The Great Buddha Temple is another famous temple built at the foot of Mandalay Mountain. There is an all-marble statue of Buddha in the temple, surrounded by statues of 8 Buddhist disciples. This Buddha statue was completed in 1865. According to legend, in order to transport the marble carved with Buddha statues, we used 1, people

including towering old trees, rugged rocks and winding mountain roads. Nearly a hundred pagodas are scattered everywhere, either hidden in grottoes or standing on cliffs. The largest monastery in Myanmar is also located here. Pagoda City Bagan, Myanmar There are 4, pagodas and temples in Bagan, Myanmar. Some of them are still there, and some have collapsed, forming the most attractive historical sites in Southeast Asia. Spread out the map, Bagan is located in the middle of Myanmar, near the right side of Irrawaddy River, the largest river in Myanmar. It is 667 kilometers north of Yangon and about 3 kilometers southwest of Mandalay, the second largest city in Myanmar. You can take a coach from Yangon to Bagan. It's economical, but it takes 2 hours of bumps.

the insurance company is not responsible for whether your internal organs are still there when you arrive. This Bagan, known as one of the three major Buddhist shrines in Asia, is recorded to have more than 5, pagodas and temples in the heyday of the 13th century. Later, it was ravaged by ruthless war and the terrible earthquake in 1975. After some repairs, there are still more than 2, buildings with intact appearance and standing. None of the more than 2 pagodas and Buddhist temples are the same. They are dome-shaped with spires and no roofs. Walking into a temple is another feeling. Bricks or stones, large and small, are erected, erected or erected horizontally to form a majestic and solemn Buddha statue. All the tourists who have visited are deeply impressed. At present, a large number of pagodas and Buddhist temples scattered in Irrawaddy River are listed as world cultural heritage and are strictly protected historical sites. In order to strengthen the protection, the houses in the stupa and Buddhist temple should be moved away, otherwise a brick in the stupa will soon be questioned. Climbing a towering ancient tower seems to be built for the future sunrise and sunset.

The inside of the ancient pagoda is flickering, step by step; If you want to climb to the top of the tower quickly, you can make a detour. However, there is a price to pay for taking the side door. Often when you step on the air, you will fall all over the floor. As soon as we reached the top of the tower, everyone took advantage and set up a tripod to watch the evolution of the earth. There is a beach at the end of the branch road near the ancient city. The beach is very big, at least hundreds of meters wide. Outside the beach is the Irrawaddy River, and countless rural tribes are scattered across the river. When I came here early in the morning, the yellow children on the beach were chasing and playing, while the adults in twos and threes were sitting or squatting, looking at the river outside the window, smoking cigarettes and spitting. On a sunny morning, the villagers' boats on the other side of the river floated in the wind. There is no dock here. The villagers waded across the river to catch the morning market for eight days. All boats, big and small, have to sail against the current, and the water on the river is very fast. Before the boat stopped, the villagers jumped into the water for fear of falling behind, and people on the beach waded in to meet them.

everyone helps to carry all the bread and butter on the boat. For a time, everyone was afraid of getting wet in the sand cage and had to hold on to slippers. In a hurry, they had to adjust their work with amazing expenses. At this time, even with superhuman powers, it is still not enough. The busy life of ordinary people is dizzying. In Bagan, the best place to greet the sunrise is the Yahongji Tower on the new road between the Bird House and the old Bagan, and the best place to enjoy the sunset is the Shewsandaw Tower in the southeast of the old town of Bagan, which is also the best time to shoot the ancient tower. However, watching the sunset in a hot air balloon is the most special thing in the world. Seen from the foot, the reddish-brown pagodas are scattered on the open river plain, like agates embedded in lush forests, and the whole Bagan has a panoramic view.

Transportation: It is the most romantic way to visit Bagan by carriage. The coachman will help you arrange your itinerary. Of course, you can also tell the coachman the scenic spots you want to see. About 6 dollars a day, four people can sit. And the bicycle is rented by the hotel, which costs about $1 a day. Gourmet: Roadside restaurants between the old and new towns are basically western food. The new town is full of restaurants, serving Chinese food, Italian food and ordinary food.
