Showing Myanmar through pictures.
Myanmar, formally known as Burma, has a rich history of food, culture, jewellery and many more. Myanmar is one of the ASEAN countries and located between Indian and Thailand. Yangon, Mandalay, Bagan and Ngapali are the tourist hot spots that many people are in awe and love the scenarios and vacation spots to travel. The country boasts a unique lifestyle, political interest, traditions and architecture.
To describe the unique culture of Myanmar, one of Myanmar’s ethnic race/ state has a Guinness Records of having the most extended neck in the world which is 40 cm (15.75 in). This tribe is known as the “Padaung” or “Kareni”. Their reason for why they do it is the sign of beauty to symbolize wealth, position and beauty. By wearing brass coils—not rings—around their necks, coils can stretch their necks over a foot and weigh over 20 pounds.

Myanmar is a Buddhist country which has four millions of pagodas. The most unique and exceptionally ancient pagoda is “Shwedagon Pagoda” which is the landmark and Myanmar’s Treasured Icon—located in the heart of Yangon City.
