Its cities are resplendent with gems like awe-inspiring beaches and archaeological sites, so are you garang enough to make Myanmar your next travel destination?

BE AWED BY: BAGAN
Feeling gung-ho? Bagan, one of the world’s greatest archaeological sites, is home to hundreds of ancient temples, connected by a vast network of dirt roads and trails, and best explored by bike. For an extra treat, hop onto a hot-air balloon and catch a stunning sunrise or sunset over the sprawling landscape.

FIND YOUR INNER PEACE AT: SHWEDAGON PAGODA
Get your cameras and phones ready for the magnificent sunsets here! Visit one of Buddhism’s most sacred sites in the late afternoon in summer, and be wowed by how dazzlingly the gold-plated structure glows. It’ll be a truly #Insta-worthy moment.

GO SHOPPING AT: BOGYOKE AUNG SAN MARKET

Get hold of locally made trinkets at the colourful and lively Bogyoke Aung San Market, which oﬀers a large selection of high-quality, authentic handicrafts, gemstones and leather products. Time to sharpen those bargaining skills!

BE ENTHRALLED BY: INLE LAKE
Culture vultures, you can’t miss a visit to shimmering Inle Lake! It’s home to floating villages and gardens, and traversed by skiﬀs (rowing boats) which are propelled by leg rowers who balance on the stern of the boat on one foot, while wrapping another foot around an oar. Take time to visit the silversmiths here and admire the intricate products they craft.

SOAK UP THE SUN AT: NGAPALI BEACH
Forget Bali and Phuket. To walk along a truly unspoilt beach, take a one-hour domestic flight from Yangon to the ancient seaside town of Thandwe, which has maintained its quaint fishing-village vibe despite its growing popularity. A long, silvery-white beach fringed with swaying palms awaits. Enjoy it before it gets too popular.
