Which Tourist Spots Can You Visit In Myanmar?

Commonly called Burma, Myanmar is a must-visit for people who love to spend time by the beach and explore religious sites. Once you are in the country, you’ll be able to explore and experience the traditional Burma life and culture. Kyaiktiyo Zedi – the Golden Rock, Shwedagon or Greater Dragon Pagoda, Shwenandaw Monastery, and Taung Kalat are stunning Buddha temples sacred to the Buddhists. Their temples, rivers and caves carry deeper Buddhist relevance and stand out for their serene and intriguing architecture.
