Ubuntu Bridge 1

brief introduction

Ubain Bridge, built in 185 1 year and with a length of 1200m, is the longest teak bridge in the world. Most importantly, all the wood used to build the bridge comes from the demolished Awa Palace. There are six pavilions at the bridge head, the middle of the bridge and the end of the bridge respectively, which embodies the "Liuhe spirit" of Buddhism. Ubuntu Bridge is also called "Love Bridge" by Burmese. When Burmese people are in love, they will come all the way here to board the bridge and pray for the preservation of these six spirits of harmony and mutual respect forever. The best time to visit Ubuntu Bridge is at dusk, which is the best place to watch the sunset. Sitting quietly by the lake, watching the distant sky gradually change from pale pink to crimson, and the last sunset slowly disappears into the sky, feeling the quiet and peaceful atmosphere here.
