Welcome to Myanmar, a Southeast Asian country where thousands of ancient golden pagodas rise from misty plains and rolling hills. Bagan's vast archaeological zone reveals over two thousand temples scattered across the landscape, best viewed at sunrise by hot air balloon. Yangon's Shwedagon Pagoda glows brilliantly in gold, considered one of the most sacred Buddhist sites in the country. Inle Lake offers a serene glimpse into traditional life, with stilted villages and fishermen rowing with one leg in a technique found nowhere else.
