Myanmar: Yangon, Bagan, Inle Lake, Mandalay & Sagaing

Relatively isolated for many years from tourists, Myanmar (Burma) is fast opening its doors to the outside world. One must experience Myanmar before foreign visitors make a mad rush to this beautiful country of ancient cities, golden pagodas, and interesting rural communities.

I spent eight days in Myanmar. But that was not enough to really experience Myanmar's big four destinations namely Yangon, Bagan, Mandalay and Inle (Inlay) Lake. In Mandalay, you can visit historic sites in Innwa (Ava), Amarapura and Paleik, plus Sagaing, Mingun and Monywa in the neighboring Sagaing Region.
