My trip to Burma,second part





In fact I really enjoyed being in Mandalay .It was pretty cool to get everyday a cheap rickshaw transport and stay in 4 start hotel just with $25 dollar per night and great swimming pool.

There is Mandalay hill and Muni pagoda which are famous to visit fro lacquer were , art craft products,silk wears,silver products and the rest is just a beautiful nature which you like to be there and do nothing.

Around Mandalay If you pay enough you can go to Bagan

The reason is because the only rich tourist,archaeologist and high class locals travel there,just for praying and visiting different temples, pagodas ,monuments and historical building.
In fact it is not very well-known touristic place for back packers or younger travelers as laos or Thailand for instance.
which is nice too in fact the plane ticket is very expensive even though it doesn't take more than half hour by plane ,but just once a week they have flight to there.Another way to get there is get the bus as it approximately takes around 3 hours which is durable .

Bagan has a heritage of 13000 pagodas and caves and temples which is unique in beauty and style in Asia. Among the significant temples and pagodas are:- Ananda Tmeple, Thatbyinnyu
Temple, Gubyaukgyi Temple, Htilominlo Temple.

Sir James Scot: describe Bagan one of the oldest cities in Easrt Asia and totally different view for tourist who are interested in culture and religions and archeology.


In the capital city( yangon) you shouldn't miss visiting Shwedagon Pagoda.This pagoda is called "soul of the Burma","golden pagoda" t is all made of gold and beside the magnificent architectural feather it has been absorbing a lot of Buddhist pilgrimage from all part of East Asia .


There is a temple which was build in 1100 and it is unique with mon architecture and style.it is located in the East part of city wall in Bagan.

In connection with the monuments at Bagan there is a saying among Myanmar people "The biggest structure is Dhamayangyi Pagoda, the tallest is the That binnyu and the best creative superb talents of artisans are found at Ananda
Temple". In fact this city a holy city for a lot of Buddhist people.

In fact my 10 days trip to Burma despite being hard in some ways was really great and the way back my ticket was though Thailand to shenzhen back to China.Actually that trip was the longest trip I have ever had during my stay out of Iran.It took in tot all more than 60 days.
