Yangon – Bagan – Inle Yangon 4Days 3Nights

Yangon (formerly known as Rangoon) is a former capital of Myanmar (Burma) and the capital of Yangon Region until it was superseded by Naypyidaw in November 2005.  Yangon is also the main gate way to Myanmar by Air and Sea.

The pride of Yangon is the world famous Shwedagon Pagoda, the landmark of Myanmar.  The golden dome rises 98 meters above its base and is covered with 11 tons of pure gold. The city’s other notable religious sites include the Botataung and Sule pagodas, both housing Buddhist relics.

Bagan is founded at 10th century and today it’s become one of the richest archaeological sites in Asia.

It is an ancient city in central Myanmar (formerly Burma), southwest of Mandalay.  Over 400 miles (640 km) north of Yangon on the bank of the Ayeyarwady (Irrawaddy) River, it’s known for the Bagan Archaeological Area, where more than 2,000 Buddhist monuments tower over green plains.

Inle Lake is a freshwater lake located in the Nyaungshwe Township of Taunggyi District of Shan State, part of Shan Hills in Myanmar.  It is the second largest lake in Myanmar with an estimated surface area of 44.9 square miles (116 km2), and one of the highest at an elevation of 2,900 feet (880 m).

The watershed area for the lake lies to a large extent to the north and west of the lake. The lake drains through the Nam Pilu or Balu Chaung on its southern end. There is a hot spring on its northwestern shore.

It reflects the strong Brahman influence that affected the Teravadin Mon kings. Also, do take note of the relief of the god Brahma. There are three faces that can be discerned, all of which have the typical facial features of Mon. These are said to be representations of King Manuha. It is sometimes called the Ganesh or Mahapeine Temple, named after the elephant-headed Hindu god whose image once stood at the corners of its five successively diminishing rectangular terrace.

Continue sightseeing with many of the old murals and friezes can still be discerned, as can several old horoscopes, painted to protect the building from damage. After that proceed to Ananda Temple constructed in 1091, and is considered the masterpiece of Mon architecture.
