Myanmar (Burma)
Myanmar (known as Burma a few years ago) has recently been successfully gaining tourist momentum. And there are all the prerequisites for this, because Myanmar is an extraordinary collection of ancient values and cultural heritage. The kingdom of a million stupas and temples.
In the first minutes, the question arises: «why did we fly here, what to watch?» Everything looks like a disorderly village, covered with an eerie layer of dust that seems to have been here since the day it was founded. But you need to get deeper into this dust and that’s where the miracles will begin.
