The capital Yangon (formally called Rangoon) still displays much of its colonial era architecture and in the centre of the city is Sule Paya, a pagoda which is more than 2,000 years old. The Shwedagon Pagoda is the most sacred Buddhist pagoda for the Burmese and is covered by thousands of gold plates, diamonds and other semi-precious stones.</font></p> <p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" color="#95B7C4" size="2">A short drive to the east of the once Royal Capital, Mandalay, is the former British hill station of Maymyo, now called Pyin Oo Lwin. Many reminders of the colonial era are still present in Pyin Oo Lwin, including brick and timber houses with British names and the botanical gardens to the south of town. Another former British hill resort is Kalaw, 200km south of Mandalay in Shan State. Kalaw is a little higher than Pyin Oo Lwin at 1,320m and has a similar faded colonial atmosphere. Kalaw with its cool mountain air and pine forests offers some very good trekking possibilities. The road from Kalaw to Pindaya is very scenic with panoramic mountain views, reminiscent in places of the Alps.</font></p> <p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" color="#95B7C4" size="2">Pindaya is famous for its caves carved out of a limestone ridge overlooking a lake. The caves contain over 8,000 gold-covered Buddha images as well as some spectacular stalagmites and stalactites. To the south east of Pindaya is Inle Lake, 1,328m above sea level and 22km from north to south. Inle Lake is home to the Intha people and is famous for its unique leg-rowing fishermen and floating villages and gardens. A tour of the lake in a local wooden canoe visits the Phaung Daw Oo Pagoda, one of the most important religious sites in Myanmar, dating from the 18th century.</font></p> <p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" color="#95B7C4" size="2">The monastery of Nga Phe Kyaung is built entirely of teak and is famous for its unusual displays by hoop-jumping cats. The villages of the local Intha and Pa-O people are built on stilts on the lake and there are many interesting cottage industries to visit include cloth weavers and cheroot makers.</font></p> <p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" color="#95B7C4" size="2">To the east of Yangon in Mon State is one of Myanmar's most important places of pilgrimage for Buddhists, the magnificent "Golden Rock" at Kyaiktiyo. A huge boulder covered in gold leaf and said to contain a hair of Buddha is perched on a cliff at the peak of Kyaiktiyo Mountain. Other areas to consider visiting include the beaches at Ngapali on the Bay of Bengal in the west of the country and Mogok, in the gem mining region of the north.</font></p> <p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" color="#95B7C4" size="2">Find out more about <a href="http://www.exotissimo.com/travel-myanmar.htm"> travel to Myanmar</a> for <a href="http://www.exotissimo.com/myanmar-holidays.htm"> Myanmar holidays</a> or <a href="http://www.exotissimo.com/myanmar-tours.htm"> Myanmar tours</a>, booking <a href="http://www.exotissimo.com/myanmar-hotels.htm"> Myanmar hotels</a>, or using Exotissimo as your <a href="http://www.exotissimo.com/myanmar-travel-agent.htm"> Myanmar travel agent</a>.</font></p> <h2><b><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" color="#009933" size="3">Book your Myanmar holidays with Exotissimo</font></b></h2> <a href="http://www.exotissimo.com/asia-myan/index.htm"><img border="0" src="http://www.exotissimo.com/images/myanmar-people.gif" align="left" width="260" height="185" alt="Travel to Myanmar with Exotissimo Travel, where you can find hotels, flight tickets and excursions throughout Myanmar"></a> <p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" color="#95B7C4" size="2">Whatever tourist service you require in Myanmar, Vietnam, Cambodia or Laos you can be confident that Exotissimo Travel can provide it.
