Myanmar: A Truly Buddhist Country – Relaxed Vibes Infecting Visitors
Chongqing Yu Pin's Global Tour has begun, this time we're flying directly to Myanmar.
Myanmar, a place where you can truly experience a Buddhist-style travel.
Whether it’s the pace of life or its own culture, it’s very compatible with Buddhist youths!
Yu Pin has specially prepared a Myanmar guide for you. If you want to travel to Myanmar, it can be used as a reference.
Route: Yangon → Rhein Lake → Mandalay
Day1
Most domestic flights to Myanmar land in Yangon. Here is the famous Yangon Golden Pagoda, which is together with the Borobudur Temple in Indonesia and the Angkor Wat in Cambodia, is called the treasures of oriental art.
It is said that the Golden Pagoda is entirely covered in gold, using more than 7 tons of gold! Note that you must remove your shoes to enter the pagoda, otherwise it is disrespectful to the Buddha.
In Yangon, besides the Golden Pagoda, there is also a lot of time for us to wander around this city.
There is a Chinatown here, which is very few people during the day, and many people from different countries gather here at night to eat and drink, there are also small Chinese restaurants and Myanmar snacks.
You don’t need to wake up early and rush to various attractions, just sitting and watching people come and go in Yangon’s Chinatown is a very enjoyable thing.
Day2
Leaving Yangon, we come to Rhein Lake, which is more about beautiful natural scenery.
There is only one means of transportation at Rhein Lake, that is a boat. Here people's daily life is basically on the lake, so the guesthouses and hotels are all on the water.
Waking up to the sound of motors and birds is very comfortable. Opening the window, you will be greeted by the shimmering lake surface and flocks of flying birds.
The local people of Rhein Lake are used to living on the water. To prevent moisture, their buildings are water-based longhouse.
The lake market is very famous. To go to the market, you also need to let the boatman row you there.
If you're lucky, you'll see local fishermen using one foot to row a boat to cast a net and catch fish. This is the characteristic fishing method of Rhein Lake locals, and it’s also their historical and cultural inheritance.
Rhein Lake also has Myanmar’s unique wine.
Because Rhein Lake is located in the valley, the temperature, soil and humidity are all suitable for grape growth, so here has become Myanmar’s only wine producing area.
Foreigners who come to Myanmar for vacation, especially European and American friends, like to stay here for a whole afternoon, to visit the Red Mountain Winery, to see the sunset, to drink wine, and to chat, which is really enjoyable.
Day3
Our last destination is Mandalay, where we go to see U Bein Bridge.
U Bein Bridge is called ‘Love Bridge’ by the local Myanmar people. People who come to Myanmar will inevitably come to see the sunset on U Bein Bridge.
U Bein Bridge is 1100 meters long, completely made of mortise and tenon joints of teak wood, which is the oldest and longest teak structure in the world.
Whether you're watching the sunset on the bridge or looking at the bridge from afar, it’s a good place for a romantic last stop.
Myanmar is indeed like other countries, it has its own ‘slow life’ and is easier to have simple happiness.
If you are also a Buddhist youth, why not come here to discover the little happiness in life!
PS: Myanmar’s consumption level is low, so it’s very affordable to travel here. 1000 RMB can be enough for 3 days, but Buddhist youths probably don’t care about this.”
