Myanmar: Deep into mystical Burma
Myanmar: Deep into mystical Burma
Myanmar (former Burma) is a land of great contradictions. Its spirititual people are heart-warmingly friendly but its military rule has a bad reputation where human rights are concerned. And although essentially a poor country, the landscape is dotted by gold-covered religious buildings. As most travellers visit Myanmar for highlights such as the medieval Bagan temple-complex and the mountain locked Inle Lake, it is while travelling its tree-shaded countryside roads that the true beauty of this mystical country reveals itself.
