The first stop you should see while visiting Myanmar is the former capital and largest city of former Burma - Yangon. Be sure to visit the "crown of Burma" - Shwedagon Pagoda, whose golden pillar is decorated with over 7,000 diamonds, rubies, topaz, and sapphires and is visible from all parts of the city. You can't say you've been to Myanmar without visiting Inle Lake. Go boating on the lake, get to know the locals, and try banana cigarettes. Local fishermen will show you a special fishing technique, and you can also buy souvenirs at the traditional floating market.
Another stop is Bagan, an ancient city that was the capital of the first kingdom from the 9th to the 13th century. In this area, there used to be over 10,000 temples, of which just over 2,000 have been preserved to this day. Myanmar, formerly Burma, is located in Southeast Asia. It borders Bangladesh and India to the west, China to the north, northeast, and Laos and Thailand to the east. This vast country for the most part - with a coastline of 1,930 km - in its south and southwest overlooks the Bay of Bengal and overlooks the open Indian Ocean.

Burmese cuisine is a blend of many Asian cuisines as the country lies at the crossroads of Asian roads. India, China, and Thailand had the greatest influence on Burmese cuisine. Rice is basic food. Burmese are true masters when it comes to preparing various dishes that are served with rice. Fish is very often an integral part of Burmese cuisine, either fresh or as a spice in the form of various fish pastes. Food is often slightly spicy, and spicy additions often come to the table in special bowls. Burmese also like so-called salads - cold dishes made of many ingredients to which noodles are added and which represent a quick meal, even on the street. There is of course a lot of seasonal fruit available. Among the drinks, tea is the main one. Green tea is water for Burmese, so it is available always and everywhere, and it is drunk without any additives. Of the alcoholic beverages, the most common are many Burmese beers.
