First on the point of photos, please be patient to see, there are a lot of photos.

1、 Opening

1. Prepare before going.

Myanmar is my next overseas travel destination after reading a travel friend's post in 2017. After going to Egypt in January 2018, he began to pay attention to the preparatory work, see the strategy, and understand the situation of Myanmar.

Including climate, Southeast Asia is located in the tropics, and the temperature is high all the year round. Myanmar has rainy season from April to October. Why do we choose to go to Southeast Asia in early January.

The main reason is that the climate is cold and the temperature is between 18 and 29 degrees. It's a little hot in the sun at noon, cool and comfortable in the morning and evening.

In addition, this time just after Christmas New Year's day, tourists are relatively small. Air tickets are also relatively cheap. And I can go out when I'm free.

To sum up, we finally made a reservation for the round-trip air tickets in late September. It's Thai Air Asia, because I'm going to travel all the way from Thailand. Here we want to explain that the booking of cheap air tickets of Air Asia does not include the check-in of luggage. We have to buy another check-in of luggage. Later, we bought a person's 25kg luggage, which can be taken with us.

Next is the ranking process. It took a lot of time, because if you want to go to all the places you want to go in 16 days, and don't get too tired, it's Weisang beach in Yangon and dajinshi. Whether you want to go to both or choose one place, you finally chose to go to both. At that time, there wasn't much information about this, so you didn't know what to do. But it turns out that these two places are worth visiting. Although there are twists and turns, the result is very satisfactory.

When you book your itinerary, you can book a hotel immediately. Some of them are refundable and some of them are non refundable. For example, we have better bookings for Weisan beach, which is close to the sea. We can't refund them in the next day. In addition, Myanmar's January is the peak season, so it's better to book the hotel as soon as possible.

Then, we ordered the night bus from Rangoon to yinlai and yinlai to Bugan on the official website of JJ. We'll wait to start when we're ready.

JJ website: https://www.jjexpress.net/ Tickets are sold three months in advance.

Thank you, didadi Rouge cat, for giving us a lot of guidance when buying tickets on JJ online, and never tire of it.

2. About visa;

We didn't know that Thailand has preferential policies when booking air tickets, so we can get landing visa for Chinese tourists in mid November 2018. Three months. We first applied for Myanmar visa, online, 328 people.

Later, as soon as we saw that Thailand had this policy, we saved 260 yuan of Thai visa fee.

When we came back, Thailand extended the landing visa time. Therefore, the number of people going to Thailand has increased during this period.

3. Schedule.

The road map of our walk.

4. About money.

We exchanged 1100000 RMB for 5000 RMB baht in China,

Five days is not enough in Thailand. Later, it was changed into 500 RMB baht.

RMB 1 ~ THB 4.54

It is to be explained that Alipay can pay for shopping in Thailand.

In addition, using the global pass card to exchange Thai baht on the machine is settled in US dollars, and the handling charge of 3 US dollars per transaction is deducted.

It must be replaced on the machine marked by UnionPay. It is settled in RMB. Each transaction is RMB 4. Handling charge.

Myanmar currency is not convertible in China. We have US dollars with us.

As soon as you arrive at Yangon airport, you will get a change. The exchange rate is OK.

It should be cost-effective for us to go to Myanmar this year. The Myanmar currency has depreciated.

A few years ago, it was 1 yuan to 200 Myanmar dollars (k).

This year is 1 yuan to 225 Myanmar dollars (k).

We first exchanged $400 for 600000 (k)

All of a sudden, he became a millionaire.

5. About the phone card.

Thailand's phone card is bought online, very cheap.

Myanmar's phone card was bought at Yangon's airport. 10000 karat bought a 2G card. 12 days.

6. About insurance, we buy accident insurance in Ping'an online mall every year. There are some kinds of insurance, such as by plane, train, etc. The insured amount is optional. And convenient.

2、 Travel in Thailand

Thailand is a relatively developed region in Southeast Asia, with rich human and natural landscape. Thailand is the only country in Southeast Asia that has not been occupied as a European colony. It's knowledge that saves the country. Rama IV. King V is the most respected king in Thailand. They have accepted Western culture for a long time. The English level of our native people is high.

Although Buddhism originated in India at first, it began to spread to all over the world along different directions later. Among them, Southern Buddhism spread southward, and finally took root in Myanmar, Thailand and other places.

Thailand has Buddhist courses from primary schools to universities, even in the military education system. Maybe they don't have to read Scriptures every day like monks, but there are many requirements such as school scriptures and meditation.

Buddhist Education for them is almost from the baby, the teacher from childhood education to understand Buddhism said tolerance, filial piety, helping others, and other virtues. So walking on the road, in the shop, on the plane, they will put their hands together in a friendly way to show etiquette.

It's our first time to go to Thailand. The flight from Pudong airport to Bangkok is nearly five hours, one hour later than China.

1. The first day of travel.

I live in Bangkok. City Hotel( city hotle)

The first stop is Bangkok, next to the Langman airport, straight to the landing window. There are Chinese signs all the way. Our plane basically arrived on time. We sat in the front seat. We got down early and arrived at the visa window. We finished the visa in ten minutes. There was a small episode in the middle. Our return journey was also from Thailand. It was 15 days since our return journey, because the validity period of the landing visa was 15 days. We explained that our return journey was a connecting flight and we couldn't leave the airport, Then the official of the customs asked us to show the order of the other flights in English. They didn't take all the printed ones with them and put them in the trunk. Fortunately, my son bought two mobile phone cards for us online in advance and changed them as soon as we got off the plane. So ma turned over the order and went through the customs smoothly.

The exit of the airport is not big. There are airport buses and rail lines. You can also get to the urban area at 7. At the exit of gate 8, there is a taxi waiting in line. This should be explained. When you arrive at the destination, the company will ask you for an extra 50 baht service charge. It's for the airport.

We live in the city hotel in the city. We arrived at noon that day. There was a traffic jam on the road and we walked on the elevated road. This also means that passengers have to pay 70 baht to get on the elevated road. So I paid 280 + 70 = 350 baht at the destination.

To the hotel is more than a little, smoothly check-in. Just take a taxi to the grand palace.

Grand Palace, also known as grand palace, is the Royal Palace of Thailand (SIAM). Close to the Mekong River, it is a large-scale ancient building complex (28 in total) in the center of Bangkok, with a total area of 218400 square meters. The Grand Palace was first built in 1782. Through the continuous renovation and expansion of the king, it was finally built. Today, the grand palace complex is still magnificent. The Grand Palace is modeled on the old palace in the old capital of the great city. The Grand Palace is one of the many palaces in Thailand. It is the best preserved, the largest and the most national palace in the past dynasties

From Rama I to Rama VIII, the Bangkok Dynasty lived in the grand palace. The Grand Palace brings together the essence of Thai architecture, painting, sculpture and decoration art. Its style has distinctive Siamese architectural art characteristics, so it is highly appreciated by tourists from all over the world, and is known as "the complete collection of Thai art". After Rama VIII was assassinated in the palace in 1946, Rama IX moved to the new jilada palace in the east of the grand palace. Now the Grand Palace is used for coronation ceremony, palace celebration and other ceremonies and activities. It is usually open to the public and has become a famous tourist site in Thailand.

We arrived at the Grand Palace at 2:00 local time. We went to buy tickets first. It's 1000 baht per piece.

At this time, the sun is shining. There are not many people on that day. Once you enter the Grand Palace, you will feel majestic. The grand palace complex in Bangkok has strong Thai characteristics and is resplendent.

This is a long corridor on both sides. There are large paintings on the wall.

This is the palace of the grand palace. You have to enter barefoot.

This is the interior corridor outside the palace. It's small, open and beautiful. Take photos as a souvenir.

This is the outside of the official hall. It's very beautiful.

Walking into the courtyard of the Grand Palace, the first thing you can see is the vast grassland and ancient trees with different shapes. There are some bodhi trees and other tropical trees around the lawn.

We played in it for about 3 hours, and we were very tired. I went out. Not far from the Grand Palace is the Wofo temple. We heard that we need tickets, mainly to find a place to eat. So I didn't go in.

I got on a bus at the station and wanted to go towards the city. When I got down early, I found a clean restaurant. We were the only two to eat. I didn't get to the meal point.

This is the first meal to Thailand. Ordered a seafood fried rice, a large quantity, a meat like dish, because hungry to eat first, also forgot to shoot down. This is a crab meat, and their special is almond milkshake. They ate 1640 baht. It's a bit of a luxury.

The shopkeeper is very warm-hearted and polite. She's a young woman. When we say we're going to the shopping mall, it's just three stops,

Because she was not familiar with it, she suggested taking a taxi. It's 50 baht. After a while, here is a busy area in Bangkok

We don't go shopping when we go to the mall, but mainly to have a look. There are also 6.7 floors, which are similar to the shopping malls in Shanghai. On the first floor and basement, there are supermarkets and special snacks. By this time, I was full and had no appetite.

Out across the overpass is the format of the night market stalls. At this time, we want to go back to the hotel to have a rest. Taking a taxi here is to charge indiscriminately without paying a watch. We had to go back to the opposite shopping mall and take a taxi downstairs. There were special people in charge of it, so there was order and they were all timekeepers. It's 70 baht to go back to the hotel.

The next day. I live in Bangkok.

We are planning to go to the outskirts of Bangkok, big city. one-day tour.

Dachengfu is an ancient capital with a long history, which is called dachengfu by Chinese. In 1347, after the decline of suketai era, King Wutong moved to the mansion to establish a new capital. In 417 of Dacheng era, there were 33 monarchs, who rose in 1350 and fell in 1767. In 1350, King utong established his capital here, declared independence from Sukhothai Kingdom, established ayudaya Kingdom, soon annexed Sukhothai Kingdom, and was granted king of Siam by Ming Dynasty. In 1767, the Burmese army captured the great city and the kingdom of ayudaya perished. Later, Zheng Xin rebuilt the Kingdom and moved the capital south to tunwuli. The site of the former King City is now a yutuoye Historical Park, which is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site

Make the strategy in advance, have breakfast in the hotel in the morning, and take a taxi to hualanpeng railway station.

I bought a ticket for 8.40. 20 baht / piece, very cheap. There are no air-conditioned carriages. They are just regular train carriages. It's clean, too. Most of them are tourists. There are also more Europeans. This is a family of three European tourists.

Let's get off the train and buy the ticket back to the city that day. Then they packed a Dudu car. Around the ancient city, I went to four or five scenic spots, and the Charter fee was 820 baht.

Starting from Bangkok for more than an hour, we arrived at the ancient city of ajudia, where we can see historic sites hidden in the shade or ancient sites adjacent to modern buildings. Although it's a ruins, the remains of the palaces, the brilliant Buddha statues and meticulous carving still make people feel sad.

This is the first temple we went to. The building is well protected, especially the teak floor and the tall beams and columns. It's not only very beautiful, but I like it very much.

This is PASI sangbi temple. The original site of Wat Phra Si San PHET temple is the palace of Dacheng.

This is a big Reclining Buddha.

This is the moat. The ancient city is surrounded by this river.

Wat Chai watthanaram

Here, I met two local women in full dress. They were very conspicuous. I asked to take a picture with them, and they readily agreed.

Meet a group of students. Very lively.

This is mahatai temple

The main tower of mahatai temple, built in the 14th century, failed to escape the fire of war. Only brick walls were left in the original hall.

The most famous one is the Buddha head in the tree abandoned by the thief

I returned to hualanpeng railway station in Bangkok at 6:00 that day.

It's very convenient to go to Chinatown. You can walk directly to Chinatown. It's very lively and brightly lit.

Came to a hotel, the best business, tables are placed outside the door. It's kind of like a night shift. This shrimp is baked. It's delicious!

On the third day, I stayed in Chiang Mai.

I went to the airport early in the morning. We made a reservation for the flight from Bangkok to Chiang Mai. The plane took off on August 40 and arrived in Chiang Mai in less than an hour. Chiang Mai airport is not big. There are many taxis coming out. We found a taxi company. There is a rule that no matter where we go to Chiang Mai, it is 150 baht.

When I got to the hotel, I put things away and cleaned them, then I went to lunch. We live in the ancient city. It's called Armani hotel. In fact, it's like a B & B and it's very clean.

The ancient city of Chiang Mai is not big. It is a square city with a city wall and three gates. Outside the gate is a moat.

On that day, after lunch, we took a double taxi, 30 yuan THB / person, visited the University of Chiang Mai, and visited sutiti temple mountain.

Chiang Mai University in Thailand was founded in 1964. It has three campuses with a total area of about 14 square kilometers and more than 30000 students. The main campus is located at the foot of suti mountain in the western suburb of Chiang Mai, Thailand.

This is Suttie temple, a Buddhist holy land, located in the outskirts of Chiang Mai City“ "Su Tie" means "Xian You" in Thai. The mountain is more than 900 meters high. The mountain is surrounded by white clouds and flowers. On the hillside, there is the frattat temple, also known as Shuanglong temple, which was built in 1383

Relic Pagoda - May 19 is the "ten thousand Buddha Festival" in Thailand, where many worshippers come to the temple on foot. Visitors can reach the top of Sutie mountain by climbing more than 200 stone steps along the dragon body. There is a huge relic tower on the top of the mountain. The tower is covered with gold foil and towering into the clouds. It is brilliant and magnificent in the sun.

It's more than 6 o'clock to take a double bus down the mountain. The fare is 40 baht per person. I came to the night market opposite Chiang Mai University

It's very busy. There are all kinds of stalls and big stalls, so we do as the Romans do.

This is the dinner of the day.

The fourth day. I live in Chiang Mai.

After breakfast in the morning, walk to tappeimen. Tappeimen, the most famous ancient city site of Chiang Mai, is also the only preserved gate of the ancient city of Chiang Mai. In fact, it is not very big. There is a night market here on Sunday. We haven't met.

There are not many visitors here. We are seeing a pigeon food stall making videos for tourists. It's slow motion. very interesting.

We also asked him to take a picture.

Temples in the ancient city of Chiang Mai.

The moat of Chiang Mai.

The night market on ningman road is very busy.

The largest mall on ningman road. All kinds of snacks are on the top floor of the mall.

We went late and had fewer customers. When my ingredients were ready, the stall owner entertained himself and sang songs,

very interesting.

Food in Chiang Mai.

3、 Myanmar Tour

The fifth day. Live in Yangon.

Get ready in the morning and leave at ten o'clock. The plane is going to the next stop, Yangon.

The distance between Chiang Mai and Rangoon is very close. In less than an hour, we arrived at Rangoon airport. When we got to the airport, someone would come up and ask if you want to change Myanmar currency and use a car. Then they will guide you to the place where the Myanmar currency is exchanged at the airport. After a few people, it will be ready. It should be noted that the exchange rate should be in US dollars. There should be no crease in US dollars. The exchange rate of US $100 should be the highest, while that of US $50 should be the lowest. 20 yuan is lower.

Out of the airport hall, there are many taxis. We found a handsome guy to negotiate the price. We live in the downtown area, and the hotel costs 8000 yuan. We live in the Meigao hotel. In a high-rise building, we have a waiter at the door of the hotel to help you with your luggage. It's very polite. A lady from the front desk was very professional and could speak Chinese. When we asked about it, we checked in, packed our luggage and took a taxi to the world's most famous pagoda, Rui Daguang pagoda.

When we went out, a taxi negotiated a price of 3000K and asked him to take us to the bus station to buy tomorrow's bus ticket to wisang beach. The driver also agreed that there were two bus stations in Yangon. We went to Aung mingalar, which is very close to the city. Self help travel is like this, every step you take is to think about the following things, there will be a lot of uncertainty, endless fun. Because of poor voice communication, I bought tickets for a while. I told her clearly that I wanted to buy two tickets to go to wisang beach on the 13th of tomorrow morning. She asked me if I wanted to go back and forth. I'll buy it when I go home on the 15th. She said no, so she had to buy it. I said one way. 9, 12000 / sheet. At this time, the driver came to help speak a few sentences of English, which make complaints about the ticket selling service of Tucao, which is not very friendly. I bought a ticket and went to play with my wallet. The driver was very nice. He took us to the big gold pagoda and told us to go there. I'd like to thank him here.

We are foreign friends, take the elevator up, to the top is the ticket office. Tickets are 10000 yuan per ticket

The pagoda was first built in 585. It was only 20 meters high when it was first built, and has been repaired many times since. In the 15th century, King debindi spent nearly 8 tons of gold and inlaid more than 7000 gems to build the tower. Now the tower is 112 meters high, which was built by King simpixin, the son of King anaupaya in 1774. During this construction, a new gold umbrella was installed on the top of the tower.

It's Saturday when we went there. Many people came to the pilgrimage, holding flowers in their hands, very devout.

Southern Buddhism is the most prosperous in Myanmar, where all people believe in Buddhism.

The big gold pagoda is more beautiful at night. When the light comes on, the whole gold covered pagoda is really glittering.

On this day, when I visited the golden pagoda, I wanted to take a taxi to Chinatown, but I didn't talk about the price. I heard that it's not far away and I want to walk there. In fact, it's a little far away. Moreover, there are no street lights on that road, which is a little scary. Later, he took a taxi. In fact, he arrived in a short time. On the first day when he arrived in Myanmar, it was night, and he was not familiar with the Myanmar currency. He was given 20000 K for the 2000 K fare, and the driver was not authentic. He was right. We still don't know, back to the hotel is also 2000K gave 20000k. It wasn't until the next morning that I found out that it was wrong, which was also a lesson. In exchange for Burmese currency, 60 pieces of 10000K were given. There is no smaller ticket.

The sixth day. I live on wesan beach.

There is also a story here. After breakfast in the hotel, I wanted to take the 9:00 bus to wisang beach. When I got to the station, it was not a regular station. I just had a row of houses along the street and bought tickets to different places. I was also engaged in logistics business. When I got there, I met the woman who bought the ticket yesterday. She impatiently told us that it was 9 p.m. at that time, I took out a list and read the time pm9. At that time, I said that there were daytime cars? I said:

I know Thank you .

First of all, there was too little information in this aspect when I was doing the strategy. I only knew that the train was from here. It took six hours to drive, and I didn't know how many trains there should be. But later, when I met my colleagues, their tickets were ordered online. Now it should be. There are several departure companies, and then we put two luggage boxes in their store. Thanks to them.

We went on to play next, because we didn't have much time to stay in Yangon, so we didn't go to other places. Now it's a good thing to have one more day. So it's very relaxing. First, we walk to the 2200 year old tower of suriver. It's in the center of the road, surrounded by a circular road like a turntable, which is also very distinctive. Next to it is the city hall and the marnelli Baptist Church.

After walking through the buildings left behind by the old colonies, I came to the open garden of mahabandura. The most obvious thing is that

Independence Monument.

Then I took a taxi and went to the national blog. The museum is close to the Ngong Shan market. The ticket is 5000K per ticket.

At this time, it was more than 1:00 p.m. and there was a bus stop just opposite the museum. We took a bus No. 38 and drove in the direction of our exit. When we get to the most busy road, we see a big shopping mall and come down to the 100th Street on Nanjing Road in Shanghai. It's very modern. On the top floor of the mall, there are all kinds of delicious food. You need to buy a card first. Then you can consume it. After eating, you can return the balance and forget to take the photos.

In the afternoon, go to another area on this floor for tea. This is cash. He's on the side of the road, right? It's a church like building. Look at the city of Yangon. I spent the day at leisure.

Before 5:00 p.m., we took the No.38 bus at the second stop and got off at sureverta. Then we walked slowly towards the bus station. It was only 6:00 p.m. when we got to the station, because we had to pick up two suitcases.

The opposite side of the station is the railway station. We went to the railway station to wait. We received a phone call less than 8 o'clock to tell us that as soon as the bus arrived, we met three guests from Ningbo. They were also waiting for the bus to Weisan beach, but they didn't have the same bus. They started at 10 o'clock. In fact, they arrived at about the same time. They ordered it online. Later we

Yinlai lake after a day together. As soon as we got on the bus, the man who called us told us the number of the driver who ordered the return ticket. I'm relieved.

Day six, day seven.

Stay at visan beach, Emory Sea resort( Emerald sea Resort)

Because the roads in Myanmar are ordinary, it took him more than six hours to drive. He took a 20 minute break to eat. He also picked up the guests all the way. Then, when we get to wisang, we also send the guests to the hotel all the way, which is very humanized. Our hotel is a good one. It's close to the sea and it's outside, so we are the second one to arrive in the car, and the car stops at the door of the hotel. As we walked through the garden, a waiter came to help us with our luggage. It's nearly three o'clock in the morning.

The hotel we stayed in was just on the beach, white sand and few visitors. Come back here at noon to rest and go out to play sooner or later. This is our hotel. It's a one-piece villa style house. We have to change shoes when we go in and out.

The hotel we stayed in is a good place to watch the sunset, close to lover Island Scenic spot

When the sunset, that moment, really beautiful!

This restaurant in the town recommended here has fresh ingredients, the boss knows Chinese and the staff are polite.

Day 8 itinerary,

I live in Mt. jitiyu.

After breakfast in the hotel, we are at the front desk of the hotel, waiting for the bus back to Rangoon. It's a ten o'clock ticket, which is cheaper than when we came here. It's 10000 K. We asked the front desk staff to help us with these things, so we would give them the phone number and tell them the return date. And then the money to them, they will try their best to serve the guests, we thank them very much for their professionalism.

Ten o'clock bus to the hotel to pick us up, all the way along the hotel to pick up guests, and then straight to Yangon, the middle of the return break for two times, in the rest point of the photo taken.

This is a stall owner making betel nuts. Local men have the habit of eating betel nuts. Sometimes I see red spitting liquid on the ground.

The bus was supposed to arrive at the station at 4 p.m. because there was a traffic jam. So it's nearly 6 o'clock to Yangon station. In advance, she also consulted about the tickets to dajinshi. She asked us to buy them when we came back. There were a lot of trains. This is a window beside the ticket to the beach. There are many pictures hanging on it. It's convenient for communication.

Then we came back too late. Maybe there was no bus left here, so we called another bus terminal and said that there was a ticket at 9 o'clock and the ticket price was 5000K / piece. It's 40 minutes' drive from the center of Rangoon a few kilometers away (Hlaing tar bus terminal). There is a short shuttle bus, which starts at seven o'clock and takes us to the bus terminal. In the past one hour, the traffic in Rangoon is not optimistic!

This bus station is quite large. There are cars everywhere. We need to find the corresponding places of each corresponding company.

This is the station to dajinshi, waiting room.

The train leaves at 9 o'clock on time. It's nearly 2 o'clock when we get to the station at the foot of jitiyu mountain. We immediately bought the ticket for Yangon at 12 noon tomorrow.

The hotel on the top of the mountain that we ordered on Ctrip is also very expensive. Who knows that we only know when we get there that the car stops going up the mountain at 6 p.m., so we will contact Ctrip immediately. This is to praise for them. It's fast and humanized to solve the problem. Let's find a place to stay at the foot of the mountain. This will be cancelled for us for free tomorrow.

Under the guidance of the landlady of the station, we found a very good hotel within 3 minutes. We checked in immediately and paid 26000k for the room. It's much cheaper than the one on the mountain. It's only a few hours, of course.

Get up at 6 a.m. and have free breakfast. After eating, we head for the station to go up the mountain. At 6 a.m., cars start to go up the mountain. There are no less than a dozen trucks passing by our hotel. When we get there, we will get on the bus one by one and drive away when the crowd is full.

It costs 1000K per person to go up the mountain. In fact, the car can be delivered to the mountain. It takes a little bit of walking. We don't know. When we get to a new ropeway, the car stops and gets off for many days. We get off to change the ropeway, and each person buys a round-trip ropeway to go up the mountain. The ticket is 10000K per person. When we arrived at the scenic spot, we were foreign friends. We went in under the bar and bought 10000 per person. Local people don't need to buy tickets, just like the big gold pagoda.

Dajinshi (also known as jietiyou pagoda) is a unique style pagoda. Dajinshi is a famous Buddhist pilgrimage site in Myanmar. It is located near zhaituo, a seaside town in nashalin, Mong Pang Dan. It is a huge stone standing on the edge of the cliff. It weighs about 611 tons and is about 8.15 meters high. It stands on the cliff of jietiyoufo pagoda at an altitude of 1100 meters. It is said that the jietiyoufo pagoda has a history of 2500 years. The stone is covered with gold foil. There is a 7.3-meter pagoda built on the stone. It is said that the hair of Buddha is stored in it.

It has always been a place for local worshippers. Every year (from November to march of the next year), the surrounding area of jitiyu mountain is filled with an incredible atmosphere of piety and enthusiasm. Pilgrims chant scriptures and light candles.

In the hanging basket of the cableway, you can see the vision of the big stone for the first time.

The pilgrims, mostly local people, made their way to the top of the mountain.

After ten o'clock, we also walked back quickly. When we came out, we saw that groups of children had already made pilgrimage to go back. I also see children who are no more than one year older than my grandson. They are very cute. I will help them if I can't help myself.

In Myanmar, Buddhism starts with dolls.

On the way back, it's another pilgrimage by a doll and young parents.

On the ninth day, on the JJ bus.

Back to the bus terminal, the JJ bus is in the bus yard, arriving at more than 4 p.m. We walked around the station. I found a fast food restaurant. This is the last supper in Yangon.

It takes nearly 12 hours to drive from Yangon to yinlai lake. We got on the JJ bus at 6:00 and arrived at niangshui town in yinlai lake before 5:00 in the morning. Because our hotel is in shuiniang Town, there is also an episode here. We met three tourists from Ningbo at JJ station. They stayed at Weisang beach one day more than us. Because they hadn't ordered night bus tickets in advance, I told them that we ordered JJ's car online. Later, they also reserved a car with us. We chose the seat, which is at the front of A1A2. They were at the back, so we had the experience of traveling together in yinlai lake on the first day.

Yinlai lake is located in the Liangrui basin of Shan plateau in northern Myanmar. It is the second largest lake in Myanmar and a famous summer resort in Myanmar. Fishermen on the lake, vegetable farmers on the island of fuyinlai Lake (4 pieces) and children at school all drive this boat to and from the lake. Even monks often take this boat when they go out. And they rowed with two feet instead

When visiting yinlai lake, marshal Chen Yi was attracted by this spectacle and wrote poems like "an airship is like an arrow in yinlai Lake" and "there is no blue wave floating island in the world"

On the tenth day, I visited yinlai lake,

I live in shuiniang town. Ryanaiy Paradise Hotel( Paradise Hotel Nyaung Shwe)

When entering shuiniang Town, each guest is required to buy a ticket of 15000k. After that, there is no need to buy tickets for the scenic spots.

There is a Dudu car to pull business. It's a charge. Some travel notes say it's free. Let's go there. Our hotel is very close to the station, because one of the three of them is good at English and can navigate. As soon as we see the address of our hotel, we can find it. At the same time, the owner of the cruise ship is talking with us about the price of today's tour of yinlai lake. Later, we talked about the price of 20 000 K for a boat for five people, And swim all the way inside, thanks to this girl.

Their itinerary was tight, and they couldn't stay at yinlai lake. They went to Bugan by JJ that night. The luggage was put at the front desk of our hotel. The hotel was also very good. We arrived at the hotel at more than 6 o'clock and let us check in and gave us the room. And this hotel has a European style. We put away our luggage, washed, changed our clothes and went out. The owner of the boat has come to pick me up.

Day 12, day 13. Yubugan.

Stay at the old baggantander hotel( Bagan Thande -old Bagan)

Myanmar is located in the middle of the border and on the left bank of the middle reaches of the Irrawaddy River. Located in the middle reaches of Irrawaddy River, which flows through the center of Myanmar, it is the center of Myanmar.

Stay at the old baggantander hotel.

JJ arrived at Pugan station at 4:00 a.m., which is a long way from our old Pugan tander hotel. It seems that it costs 11000 K to take a taxi, and the entrance fee is 25000 K / person. When he arrived at the hotel, it was only 5:00 a.m., they didn't have a vacant room, and they could only stay at 2:00 p.m. regardless of him, we put our luggage at the front desk, and we immediately went outside the hotel to find a car to watch the sunrise. There is a carriage waiting for guests outside the gate of the hotel. The price is 8000K

I want to tell you that in order to protect the ancient pagodas in Myanmar, Xu Sanduo pagoda has been closed and it is difficult to go up. So we opened a small earthen hillside for you to watch the sunrise. When we went there, there were many tourists, and the Chinese team tourists accounted for more than half of them. Teams everywhere. So it's not easy to find the best position. It wasn't until 6.55 that the sun came out. At this time, half of the group tour guests have left, and their leader said that there is no sunrise today.

It's amazing to see the sunrise. Because with the rising of hot air balloons, there will be more and more.

This is the carriage we took.

It's 7.40 minutes since the sunrise. The coachman is just waiting for us. The people here are very trustworthy.

When we got to the hotel, we took the map at the front desk. There was a lady who could speak Chinese, so it was convenient to communicate. She will answer my questions patiently. It's better to choose this hotel this time than luxury, because the strategy says it's better here.

It's nice to be here. The main reason is that the environment here is good. The dining room is under the towering trees and the Irrawaddy River is on the side. Enjoy the view while eating.

This is the next day, dinner is to see a full moon on the Irrawaddy River, too beautiful.

At the front desk, we made another young couple. Their English is very good, they just arrived last night, we just arrived in the morning, we just hit it off, on that day we chartered a car to go, few tourists go, is Boba mountain.

The young man and the taxi driver negotiated the price in English, and finally they chartered a car for 45000 k a day. In the end, we gave 47000 K.

Boba mountain is about 50 kilometers southeast of Pugan. The famous dead volcano in the central part of Myanmar, Mount Boba, is 1500 meters high, which is very eye-catching on the buganping plain. There are Nath temple and pagoda on the mountain. It is also the place where gods appear in legend. It is the holy mountain in the heart of believers of Nath.

Mount pupa is Mount Olympus in Myanmar. It is the center of the worship of gods in Myanmar. There are many Buddhist temples on the mountain. There are also devout pilgrims and wild monkeys.

This is when the car drove to the border of Boba mountain, I saw villagers kneeling and begging on both sides of the road, which is a phenomenon not seen in other parts of Myanmar.

It took more than an hour to get to the destination. This is a distant view of the mountain.

After a while, he reached the top of the mountain. It's a little bit like the African prairie in the distance.

The temple on the mountain is so beautiful!

After going down the mountain, I found a fast food restaurant. After lunch, I began to drive back. But today, the driver will take us to visit a few restaurants,

The big pagoda on the outside.

This day's harvest is really great. In the morning, I visited Boba mountain. In the afternoon, according to Pugan's map, I asked the front desk lady and I to make a sign and write down the number in advance, so that I could visit the Temple Pagoda from the outside to the inside according to this map. We went to 7, 8, 6, 9, 5, 2, 3 in turn. Finally, we went to the small slope where the sun rose to watch the sunset.

The next day, Mr. Bugan went to see the sunrise with the couple. I see different scenery every day.

There are many more crows here.

After breakfast, we went out to borrow a bat
