When you travel Asia, especially in Myanmar, nearly all of the destinations here are temples and old cities from its rich historical past. Historically, Myanmar was once one of the governing kingdoms in the area but it had also extended and contracted due to military successes, internal strife and foreign incursion. Myanmar was colonized by the British in the 18th century, and they stayed for almost six decades. This period of colonization brought about technological advancement and growth in the land.
The most popular location in Myanmar is Bagan, which is an archeological area full of almost thousands of temples and pagodas along the Ayeyarwady River. This place allows one to see the various temples. Kengtung is a fashionable area for trekkers owing to its established trails and great scenery. Mount Popa is an extinct volcano and is also accessible to vacationers. One of the old urban centers is Mrauk U, which was the ancient Rakhine Kingdom’s capital.
Myanmar is also noted for its gastronomic adventures, because of a unique fusion of several cultures including Chinese, Indian and Thai. What made Burmese cuisine unique is the diversity of distinct and flavorful spices utilized in every cooking.
