What are the tourist attractions in Myanmar?
Myanmar is an ancient civilization with a long history, dating back to 5,000 years ago. Villages along the Irrawaddy River in Myanmar were once inhabited. It is said that in 200 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. 1044 After the formation of the unified country, it experienced three feudal dynasties: Bagan, Wudong and Gongbang. 1824- 1885, Britain launched three wars to invade and occupy Myanmar. 1886, Britain divided Myanmar into upper Burma and lower Burma, and became a province of British India.

Myanmar is a famous Buddhist country. Buddhism has been introduced into Myanmar for more than 2500 years. /kloc-More than 0/000 years ago, Burmese people began to carve Buddhist scriptures on a tree called Bedolo, and made it into Bayo Sutra. In Li Shangyin's poem, I mentioned that I remember the lotus, and I have heard the Bayeux Sutra. More than 80% 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, showing the nature and simplicity of this country everywhere. Due to the geographical location, the climate in Myanmar is pleasant all year round, and the attractive scenery here is constantly changing with the climate change. The Twelve Seasons Poems, which are popular in Myanmar's literary world, describe the richness of nature. Hongta Hongta Hongta Hongta Hongta Hongta 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 4 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 Sakyamuni's King Kong throne. There are two ancient clocks in the northeast corner and the northwest corner. One of them is about 16 tons, which was presented by the king of Myanmar in 1778, and the other is about 40 tons, which was presented by the king of Myanmar in 184 1 year. On the south side of the tower is the exhibition hall, which displays Buddha statues, silverware and other items donated by believers. Jinta has corridor entrances to the east, west, north and south, and elevators to the east and west. Every day, there are an endless stream of worshippers, especially pilgrims on 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 of Garaba in Wang Ao and Myanmar began. There are Buddhist relics such as the hair of Sakyamuni Buddha in the tower. When it was first built, it was only 66 feet high. Since then, successive dynasties in Myanmar gradually raised it to 326 feet in the15th 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 1000 golden bells.
When the wind blows, there are bells everywhere. The whole tower used 8 tons of gold and 1 ton of jewelry. Shuiwan Lake is located in the south-east of the capital of Shan State, Myanmar, about 30 kilometers from the east. It is a plateau lake in Myanmar. The altitude here is about 1300 meters. Yinlai Lake is about 10 km wide from east to west, 22 km long from north to south, and covers an area of 1.45 million square kilometers. This is typical corrosion.
Inlay's In is the Burmese number 4, and lay is the lake. Mosaic Lake was originally a big lake composed of four small lakes. It is located in a foggy place. Surrounded by mountains, it is a natural alpine lake with an altitude of more than 2900 meters, with 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 200 water villages on Yinlai Lake, which are connected by large and small waterways. Every waterway has its own name, just like a land street. There are also signs at the Shuidaokou indicating the number of villages and kilometers, 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: one is Iwama, the largest aquatic market in Myanmar, and the other is the rare and unique floating island village and floating island planting method; Third, the silver man who paddled 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. It was destroyed by fire in World War II and is now being rebuilt. From 65438 to 0989, the Myanmar government began to rebuild and repair 89 halls based on historical pictures and materials, and opened them to the outside world from 65438 to September 1996. There are two places in the palace that must be visited.
One is a 33-meter-high watchtower. Climb the stairs of 12 1 and 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 wooden stairs. If you push too hard, you don't know if you will fall. Another must-see place is the museum, which contains items used by the king of Myanmar, a small amount of furniture, photos and so on.
Be displayed. This is the only place where you know about the history of Myanmar. The 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 Myanmar Museum of Ancient Culture, which displays palace costumes, objects and Buddhist artworks. The palace is square and 3.2 kilometers long, with four main doors and eight side doors. There is a wide moat outside the red brick palace wall. There are large and small halls 104 in the palace. The whole building complex is made of wood structure, beautifully carved and magnificent. The model of Mandalay Palace on display was specially made by the Myanmar government for the second China-ASEAN Expo.
The model is 5.5m high with a total area of108m2. It is made of steel, wood and a lot of bronzing. The production took three months and the cost was about 654.38 million RMB. In the evening, the setting sun reflects the turrets of the ancient city, the colorful clouds all over the sky, the distant mountains and the shadows of the ancient city. 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. Every night from 7:00- 10, there is a Burmese folk song and dance performance, which is open in the form of buffet. On the beautiful Royal Lake, there is the most distinctive building in Myanmar-the Royal Mandarin Duck Boat, also known as Callaway Palace.
It looks magnificent during the day and brightly lit at night, reflecting colorful light. The Grand Temple Mount Hotel by the lake is the royal style of Myanmar, and it is also a place frequented by 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 800,000. Mandalay is named because it is backed by Mandalay Mountain, and it is also called Wacheng because the famous ancient capital of Myanmar is in its suburbs. 1856, Mindong, the ninth king of Li Yong Dynasty in Myanmar, moved the capital here and named it Yadana State, which means Wanbao City in Pali. From 65438 to 0885, 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, and is backed by Mandalay Mountain. The climate is dry and sultry, and the annual maximum temperature is 45 degrees Celsius, so it is called a stove. /kloc-After the downfall of the Bagan Dynasty in the 3rd century, the Burmese people established the kingdom of Myanmar in Mandalay. After the change of dynasties, from 65438 to 0857, King Myeongdong of the Kampong Dynasty built Mandalay as the capital of Myanmar, and Myanmar was destroyed by Britain from 65438 to 0885. Among the many ancient capitals in Myanmar's history, only Mandalay, the imperial city, has been completely preserved, although the palace was destroyed and rebuilt. Mandalay has now become a tourist center, reflecting the glorious past of ancient Burmese culture.
When traveling 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, resistant to cracking and corrosion. 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 resplendent and magnificent, supported by several 15-meter-high gold lacquer pillars. There is also an elegant and quiet royal 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 World War II, 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 300 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 200 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 1000 corridors along the road, which are covered with murals depicting the story of the Buddha. There are more than 3000 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, lifelike 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.
Mantong Qianfo Temple was built in 1853, modeled after the Purple Light Pagoda in Ba Gan Rui, and completed in 1857, with 729 white pagodas, each with a stone tablet embedded in it. 187 1 year, Mantong invited more than 2,000 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 Buddha statue in the temple, surrounded by statues of 80 Buddhist disciples. This Buddha statue was completed on 1865. According to legend, we used 654.38 million people to transport marble carved with Buddha statues.
There are towering old trees, rugged rocks and winding mountain roads here. Nearly a hundred pagodas are scattered everywhere, either hidden in grottoes or standing on cliffs. The largest monastery in Myanmar is also located here. Pagodas in Bagan, Myanmar There are 4,000 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 located 667 kilometers north of Yangon and about 300 kilometers southwest of Mandalay, the second largest city in Myanmar. You can take a coach from Yangon to Bagan. It's economical, but it will be bumpy for 20 hours.
The insurance company is not responsible for whether your internal organs are still there when you arrive. This bagan is known as one of the three Buddhist holy places in Asia. According to records, in the heyday of13rd century, there were more than 5,000 pagodas and temples. Later, it was ravaged by ruthless war and the terrible earthquake of 1975. After some repairs, there are still more than 2,000 buildings with intact appearance and standing. None of the more than 2000 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, stand vertically, vertically or horizontally, forming a majestic 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 the Buddhist temple should be removed, 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 to the ground. 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, and the adults in twos and threes were sitting or squatting, watching the river outside the window, smoking and spitting. On a sunny morning, villagers' boats on the other side of the river floated with the wind. There is no dock here. The villagers spent eight days wading across the river to catch the morning market. All boats, big and small, have to sail against the current, and the water on the river is very urgent. 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 helped to carry all the bread and butter to the boat. For a time, everyone was afraid of getting wet in the sand cage and had to hold on to their slippers. In desperation, 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 Pagoda on the new road between the Bird House and the old Bagan, and the best place to enjoy the sunset is the Shewsandaw Pagoda in the southeast of the old town of Bagan, which is also the best time to shoot the ancient pagoda. However, watching the sunset in a hot air balloon is the most special thing in the world. 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 trip. Of course, you can also tell the coachman the scenic spots you want to see. About 6 yuan a day, four people can sit. Moreover, the bicycle is rented by the hotel, which is about 1 USD per day. Gourmet: Roadside restaurants between old and new towns are basically western food. The new town is full of restaurants, offering Chinese food, Italian food and general western food. Every family has rice and noodles, which is cheap. Generally, you can eat and drink enough for one dollar. Shopping: Bagan's most beautiful souvenir
There is also a sunscreen made of robes, sarong, cloth bags and wood powder, which is worth a try. Mandalay Lover Bridge The longest wooden bridge in the world is the Wu Ban wooden bridge in the southwest suburb of Mandalay, Myanmar. Because it is called the love bridge by Burmese, it is the most famous in the world. Datura, located in the middle of Myanmar, is the residence of emperors of past dynasties. There is a famous lover's bridge in the suburbs. Legend has it that she left her hometown of Dali and traveled long distances to Mandalay, the capital of Myanmar.
On the bridge, the prince of Myanmar is waiting for the arrival of his sweetheart Yu Xian. Two lovers, hand in hand, snuggled up to each other in the golden sunset, crossed the wooden bridge and walked to the palace hall. Later, in order to commemorate this love story, people called this bridge Lover Bridge. Up to now, young people in Mandalay, Myanmar are still walking arm in arm on the bridge of lovers, praying for a happy love. The bridge is more than 2000 meters long, five meters high and two meters wide, and the pile spacing is one and a half meters. There are a bunch of rice cookers. On one side is1333; Because it is arranged in pairs, there are 2666 beams on both sides, and each pair of stakes consists of two-meter-long beams, with a total of 1333 beams. Five bridge reinforcement members are nailed vertically to the cross beam.
Bridge reinforcement consists of wooden piers of the same size. If five wooden piers used as bridges are connected, it will be 10000 meters long. On the bridge ribs of the five wooden piers, wooden boards are placed horizontally so that pedestrians on the bridge can walk on the ground. Take a trip from the wooden bridge. It will take at least half an hour to go. You calculate, this wooden bridge needs almost one million cubic meters of high-quality hardwood! Now no country in the world, even Myanmar, will not cut down a forest and build such a long wooden bridge. /kloc-Why did Mindong, Wang Yong build this bridge more than 0/00 years ago? It turns out that Wu Ban is a low-lying land. In dry season, there is water in very low places, so you can take a boat. In the rainy season, the lake rises and becomes Zeguo. The same is true today, which has greatly affected the lives of Wu Ban people. In order to solve the traffic difficulties, Mantong decided to build this wooden bridge. At the end of the bridge, there is a square pavilion, a total of four, for people who come to stay to avoid the scorching sun and sudden heavy rain.
Myanmar, a Buddhist country, is full of Buddhist teachings. The Six Pavilions embody the spirit of the Six Buddhas: to live together, to speak the same language, to be of one mind and one mind, to express their opinions, to make progress and benefit together. These are the six harmonious spirits of young people of all ethnic groups in Myanmar wishing their families happiness. When you fall in love, you will climb the bridge of love from a distance, enjoy the natural scenery, and swear to keep these six spirits of harmony and mutual respect forever. This has become a new fashion in Myanmar youth tradition. Myanmar's Yangon Daily published many poems praising love. The following is a poem "Love Bridge" written by the young poet Sanyou, which shows the position of love bridge in the hearts of young people: two diligent figures supported by a colorful arm. The figure under the bridge is green, and the figure on the bridge is green. Spring flows from the love bridge, and autumn comes from the love bridge. Love communicates on the rainbow, and the melody ripples on the blue waves. How handsome the young man becomes and how elegant the girl becomes.
The wooden bridge is in the heart, holding love to the blue sky. The feeling at that time was just four words: relaxed and happy. Wuchang wooden bridge has a history of more than one hundred years. When the rainy season comes every year, the accumulated water is less than one meter from the bridge deck. So some stakes have some erosion, but they are still very strong. Ban language, Burmese language. Wu, the board is a tree. This is where the old tree is. There is indeed a row of giant old trees near the bridge that few people can barely enclose. Gift shops for couples, cold drinks shops for rest, and restaurants for eating are numerous. Foreigners also like to walk on the bridge of love. It is said that there are more tourists on public holidays.
