Myanmar is a country full of mysteries and unknown places, it is located in the region of Southeast Asia, adjacent to China, Thailand, India and other countries. Although Myanmar is a self-sufficient agricultural country, its economy is now growing rapidly, attracting more and more tourists and investors. However, Myanmar is still a relatively unknown country, many people only know it as a mountain country at a high altitude, but in fact Myanmar's history, culture and way of life are very rich and diverse. Here are some trivia facts about Myanmar, let's explore this mysterious country together.
Myanmar has a very unique historical heritage
Many people may know Myanmar as a country of temples and Buddhist culture, but Myanmar's historical and cultural heritage is more unique and rich than we think. For example, Myanmar has a history of more than 5,000 years and is one of the oldest countries in Asia. Myanmar's ancient capital Mandalay and Bagan, of which Bagan is also a world historical and cultural heritage, Bagan has more than 2,200 ancient temples and stupas. There is also a village with the 17th-century Islamic sect of Anwarya, which is the only Islamic village in Myanmar and the largest Awariya community outside Myanmar.
Myanmar is a state of bills after that
As the Mandalay dynasty was facing the crisis of extinction, the bill was soon introduced into Myanmar as an economic and judicial reform measure. Myanmar's legal system is still based on the legal framework set by the United Kingdom, so it is very different from the laws of neighboring countries.
Myanmar has the longest struggle for independence and reconciliation in the world
The political situation in Myanmar is very complex, especially the issues of separatism and ethnic separatism. In order to solve these problems, the people of Myanmar began a series of peaceful marches and demonstrations from the beginning of the 20th century. Perhaps the most famous of these is the peaceful march of women and ladies from Myanmar, led by head of state Aung San Suu Kyi, which has since garnered widespread international support. The struggle for independence and reconciliation in Myanmar has been going on for more than 60 years, but the issue of democracy and human rights remains one of the country's heavy burdens.
Myanmar's culture and language are very diverse
Although Myanmar is a country of majority, each ethnic group is maintaining and developing its own cultural heritage and traditions. In Myanmar, many different languages and dialects are spoken, from Burmese to Bengali and even Tibetan. In addition, Myanmar's culture includes influences from neighboring countries and neighboring countries, such as India, Bangladesh and Thailand.
Myanmar has some unusual eating habits
Myanmar's food culture is also unique, with Burmese people who like to cook thick rice with sour shoots and syrup as the main seasoning. In addition, Myanmar is very famous for street food such as banana glutinous rice balls, which are locally known as "golden wings" and are loved by tourists all over the world for their shape and taste. Myanmar also has some eating habits that can be a bit uncomfortable, such as eating insect-based foods such as silkworms, beetles and crickets, but locals believe that these foods help maintain good health, especially for those who lack protein.
In conclusion, although we don't know much about Myanmar, the country has a unique historical and cultural heritage, a complex political situation, and a diverse food culture. Myanmar has a much weaker tourism infrastructure relative to its neighbors such as Thailand and Vietnam. The main reason is that due to the political blockade and financial restrictions, the country has invested in relatively few places. For example, the railway system is underdeveloped and there is a lack of convenient high-speed rail lines connecting the entire country. Airport facilities and tourist transport routes are also poorly configured, making these inconvenient conditions a challenging experience for novice visitors to Myanmar.
