Myanmar, between India and China is one of southeast Asia's largest and most diverse countries, and offers visitors a variety of attractions including virgin jungle, snow-capped mountains, beaches, and heritage that goes back more than 2,000 years.
Yangon is the cosmopolitan capital city of Myanmar and a popular tourist destination. Here is the Shwedagon Pagoda, a Burmese structure 2,000 years old said to contain a hair from the Buddha to two Burmese merchants. The Inya Lake Hotel lies on the borders of that lake, the only hotel in the historic downtown area.
Mandalay, the second largest city in Myanmar, is the principal cultural and economic city of Myanmar. The royal palace of the last Konbaung dynasty sits surrounded by a moat at the base of Mandalay Hill. The Mandalay Hill Resort Hotel, a hotel that offers suites and villas, an on-call doctor, babysitting, and a spa, has a view of the palace. The Rupar Mandalar Resort is another high-end option.
Bagan is one of the most remarkable archaeological sites in Asia, with over 2000 ancient Pagodas and temples dating back thousands of years. The Bagan Hotel and The Aureum Palace hotel are near the temples.
Ngapali offers miles of empty beaches. Mrauk U, accessible only by boat, features ancient temples.
