2025 Myanmar Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in January)

Among the major cities in Myanmar, Bagan left the deepest impression. In February, the daytime temperature was over 40°C, so be sure to apply sunscreen. It's very convenient to buy a SIM card from Taobao before you go. Few people, beautiful scenery, highly recommended. On the 25 square kilometer plain of Bagan, there are more than 2000 pagodas. The large pagodas are well-known, while the small ones are only numbered. You can choose to ride a horse cart, an electric bike, or walk among the pagodas. The scale of pagoda construction during the Bagan Dynasty is considered the pinnacle in Myanmar's history of pagoda building. They are everywhere you look, in clusters and groups. Riding an electric bike every day on the dirt roads to explore various pagodas is endlessly fun and unforgettable. In the early morning, hot air balloons slowly rise from the misty trees, and the centuries-old pagodas stand solemn and serene. The hot air balloon sunrise here has a much stronger sense of history. Even more beautiful are the sunrises and sunsets on the plain. Sneaking up a thousand-year-old pagoda at dawn to watch the sunrise and hot air balloons rise simultaneously is a unique experience. Transportation: Fly from domestic cities to Yangon or Mandalay in Myanmar, then take a bus to Bagan. Sightseeing: The Bagan plain is divided into three areas: New Bagan, Old Bagan, and Nyaung-U. If you have a short travel time, it is recommended to mainly visit Old Bagan, where most of the major pagodas are located. If you have more time, you can also visit Nyaung-U and New Bagan. Travel Route: The main travel cities in Myanmar include Yangon, Bagan, Mandalay, and Inle Lake. If you visit all four, it's best to reserve about 10 days. Travel Season: The best time to travel in Myanmar is during the cool season from October to February each year. The sky is clear, and the sunlight is abundant. This season is also the best time for photography in Bagan and U Bein Bridge.

Booking A Holiday Tour Or Vacation In Myanmar In my capacity as the UK Director of Operations for One World Tours Limited, one of my jobs is to ensure every client has the best tour possible, so here are my top suggestions for sites to take in during your holiday Myanmar formerly known as Burma. 1. Yangon is the capital city of Myanmar and is a typical Asian city with it’s beautiful green tropical trees and beautiful lakes. The wonderful thing about Yangon is that it has not been spoilt by modern development although it is progressing gently at it’s own pace. The city is the main entrance to the country and also houses the principle seaport. Yangon is home to many stunning pagodas, one of the most stunning being The Shwedagon Pagoda which stands on Theingottara hill. This golden shrine is gilded from top to bottom which makes it glisten in the sun an absolutely awesome spectacle. #givethanks#naturalwonders#beautifulhotel#summervacation#hotelstay#urbanexplorer

This book inspires me to visiti this hidden gem of South East Asia. Myanmar has such a incredible history and beautiful culture. Deep down through history , you can see how it has changed through generation. Like George orwell describes one part of era that colonialism became such a factor to shape Myanmar nowadays. Love it! #georgeorwell #bookwithtrip #myanmar #historicculture#beautifulsunsets#summervacation

mingalabahr that means hello in Burmese! went to Myanmar about 2 years ago? can’t believe I caught this sunset there. love it so much. life there was different from the city! everything seems so slow pace! #tripaway

Myanmar's favorite treasure trove in Inle Lake! Take a boat and feel the life of the water town When it comes to Myanmar's favorite place, it must be the cool Inle Lake! In the hot summer, Inle Lake is as comfortable as a spring breeze, even the wind is a refrigerator, it is definitely a summer resort in Myanmar! The whole tour of Inle Lake is through boats, where the locals' buildings are all water cabins, which gives me the illusion of being in Semporna! In addition to watching the locals racing dragon boats and dancing and celebrating, you can also visit the textile factory. Of course, the luckiest thing is to double the rainbow. The joy of cheering everyone together is still fresh! Inle Lake is best known for its fisherman's foot. The locals use the one-legged boat to cast nets for fishing. The picture is absolutely out of the picture. Unfortunately, we didn't go to shoot specifically, but when we passed the boat, it was enough to move! Tips: You can fly to Heihe Airport, and you can take a boat for half an hour to get to the boat at Inle Lake! The whole Inle Lake is very large and has a great resort. If you can, arrange two or three days to explore Inle Lake slowly!

The Voice of Faith Lucky Light came here during the rainy season. Fortunately, every time I take a photo, there is always a sunny day. Maybe the Buddha gave me good luck. The rhythm of Buddhism is a bit slow. I saw the murals about the story of Sakyamuni in the Jokdaji Temple of the Reclining Buddha. The little Buddhas inside are donated by the people. It is not popular here. The Buddhas prefer beautiful flowers and see the stars. Sitting down the cat, the monks and foreign friends will also come around and tease the cat. When walking barefoot in the temple, it feels really different. It seems to be more sincere and closer. The little brother of Myanmar said that the faith made us happy, and suddenly I felt that my little brother was wearing a cage.

## The most beautiful scenery in the world is that the original heart is not known @inlai LakesideMyanmar

The sun in the afternoon is a little sun-baked, so be sure to prepare sunscreen when you go out. In the afternoon, I went to Myanmar to play, and I went out to the security check. After passing this gate, I went to another country: Myanmar, a country with a strong cultural atmosphere. Myanmar Temple in Myanmar, picking up the stairs and seeing a few nuns in the devout chanting, did not notice that there were tourists. Many temples in China are not allowed to take pictures. I asked what I could take before taking pictures. Looking at their focus, they even slowed down their steps, for fear that they would disturb their chanting. It is the earliest commemorative building of overseas Chinese in Myanmar and perhaps one of the earliest commemorative buildings of overseas Chinese groups around the world. From the Meng to the same dynasty, the dynasties of the kings of Myanmar, all of them used this place as the capital, which was the political, economic and cultural center of Myanmar at that time. Since ancient times, there have been many people living here.

The small nobs here, one after another, come and go, and every year will be different. However, they seem to show happiness and innocence, guarding the ancient pagodas, the magical land. Like the most peaceful star, warmly welcome, guests and friends from all over the world. The happy sand in the temple grows vigorously and keeps the youth. Simple and enthusiastic emotions infect pedestrians. Mahamuni Temple is located on the outskirts of Miaowu, the original temple where the famous Maha Muni Buddha was originally located. The appearance of the temple is very common. However, inside the temple, there is another world. The Buddha statue inside is magnificent, quietly sitting, and guarding the people of this village in peace. Away from the worldly Maha Muni Temple, waiting for the village, adopting every wandering soul, inspiring a sincere faith; waiting for this land, calm and self-confident; watching the pedestrians as if they are silent, telling An old story. Inadvertently, it breaks into the little-known Pu'er Tao Temple, and the sand under the tower is quietly guarded day after day. The quiet stupa, the memory of the light, faded away from the glory of the past, still standing here firmly, sticking to this beautiful village. In the face of this land, it seems to have broken into the exquisite scrolls, the quiet Buddhist temple, the trees are lush and green; the neat forest stands with a quiet temple; the warm and generous monks are waiting for the past and present of the temple; the cheerful atmosphere, the leap Into the ear. This long-lost intimacy is heartbreaking.

Miaowu, the most beautiful village in Rakhine State, is the most shocking village, quietly relying on the Rakhine Mountains behind it. Here, it seems as if you walked into the world of the stupa, giving people the illusion of being in Bagan. However, the people here live a quiet and peaceful life, and they are more quaint and more beautiful than Bagan. Where you come here, its hard not to be touched by the kindness and optimism of the local people. They always focus on the Buddha. Although they are not rich, they are always full of happiness. This beautiful Buddhist life is heart-warming. Life longing.

The small train in the ring city of Myanmar is less than 100 meters away from the residence. It is the narrow-gauge railway of Yangon ring city. It has been in operation for more than 100 years since it was built and used in the British colonial period in the 19th century. On the old railway line covered with grass and trees, every half an hour there is a small train around the city, carrying the old time of the old town. Standing in the small train station covered by greenery, watching the rickety little train slowly stand, shouldering the Burmese carrying the top of the head, carrying a skirt, grabbing the handle with one hand and struggling to climb The carriage, the little train whistle, panting and going to the next station.
