How to go to Myanmar for the first time?
Driving time:
Myanmar has a tropical monsoon climate, and the year is divided into three seasons: cool, dry and rainy. Short-sleeves can be worn all year round, and the average annual temperature is 27 degrees Celsius. The best time to travel is from October to February of the following year, which belongs to the cool season. The weather is clear and the sun is shining brightly, making it the best season for traveling.
Travel route:
Most people will choose Yangon-Inle Lake-Bagan-Mandalay to go to Myanmar. For first-time visitors to Myanmar, Arunjun highly recommends this method. The optimal travel time is 7-10 days. For those born less than 7 days old, it is enough to first choose the three cities of Inle Lake, Mandalay and Bagan. After visiting these three cities, you can consider whether to go to Yangon, otherwise the trip will be very rushed.
There are only two international airports in Myanmar, namely Yangon International Airport in the south and Mandalay International Airport in central Myanmar. In China, you can first compare the fares in the two cities. Of course, Arong Jun strongly recommends that you choose Mandalay International Airport as your first choice, which is not far from your next destination. Yangon is located in the southernmost tip of Myanmar. Inle Lake, Mandalay and Bagan are all in the upper central part of Myanmar. It takes more than 8 hours to drive from Yangon.
: Notes
1. All temples in Myanmar require you to take off your shoes and socks before entering! Slippers are more convenient.
2. Many famous temples require admission fees, but most of them have passes. For example, the pass to Bagan is 25,000 kyats and to Mandalay is 10,000 kyats. If you just want to visit a single attraction, you can also buy it at the temple. Usually the first door sign that says donation box refers to the cost of keeping shoes. Walking inside is where the tickets are sold. It’s best to bring your own bag for your shoes, especially in a place as grand as the Shwedagon Pagoda. Tourists often don’t remember where they threw their shoes.
3. To respect the Buddha, the clothes should not be too revealing, the upper body should not be exposed to the shoulders, and the lower body should not be exposed to the knees.
4. Burmese people believe that the head is the most important part. Don't think Burmese children are cute. Touch other people's heads and pinch children's faces.
5. Burmese culture favors boys over girls, so many attractions for women are limited, so be careful.
