The essence of local food including curry cooked fish, meat and vegetables, and gourd soup, Burmese cuisine is characterized by more oil but less spicy and salty. Buddhist Culture 1056, Theravada Buddhism became the main religion of Po Ganwang Guo. It is said that Nu legal Tuo Wang devout Buddhist, he conquered the Kingdom of Myanmar when the South won 32 straight, "Sanzo" by, thirty thousand Protestants and Theravada Buddhism, many skilled craftsmen, they bring the technology of building towers, Pagan promoted two centuries-long campaign of building towers. One story says that, when the "Three Scriptures" along the Irrawaddy River to Bagan, the Nu King rate Zhong Chen Tuo law to meet the Irrawaddy River, and their water will be "three Scriptures" on his head swam back to shore, placed in a white elephant symbol of the king's rights back. White elephant holding a "Three Scriptures" in Bagan dense forest walk, suddenly knees, Nu King Tuo think this is a legal manifestation of Buddha, Bagan built in the first urn, from Bagan extending over several centuries began a campaign of building towers. The construction of pagodas, Myanmar Theravada Buddhism, a tradition, whether it is the king, monks and civilians, to complete the construction of the pagoda is one of the greatest good results. A lifetime best hope is to build a tower dedicated to the Buddha. Exclusive access to good fruit is not an individual, but also can benefit all beings. Some ancient inscriptions, wrote: a person devoted to the temple all of her property, cattle, land and labor, and she hopes her good results thus obtained can be the king of that time with her, the future king, her parents , children and all living things share. Bagan's many pagodas from the king, ministers, monks and civilians ... ... Depending on the economic strength, social status and the aesthetic they have a different style. Making the most fanatical in the era of the tower, according to Western scholars, in the Bagan plain, had stands thirteen thousand pagodas. The folklore of the Pagan, are known as "the city of forty thousand pagodas", a 12th century Burmese culture and religious center. Now, in the desolate plain, only a 2230 and 416 Temple Pagoda. Even with some of the remnants of sites, all sites, but also around 5000. But compared to "four hundred and eighty Southern Temple," to, it is still very alarming.

We see an ancient pond, area football fields, the yellow stone bar, the pool covered with weeds, it places no one moved, the floor is petrified wood.

Buddhist belief in reincarnation is their respect for all the world, everything is likely to be the reincarnation of the Buddha. Trees are revered, they have a diameter of rings, it will be used for incense. Especially the banyan, many shrines are hung on the banyan tree, which honors the gods, was often under the banyan tree meditation, chanting, praying. Buddhist sense, is a bodhi tree and the Buddha was born with, but it is also the essence of Buddha Buddhist meditation realize four places.

Yangon has a myriad of gold or Whitehead, or pagoda, the pagoda is the most famous world famous Shwedagon Pagoda, which is located in northern holy city, ranking the highest point of the city. Yangon still maintains a colonial port city of glorious period features. To be held in April this year a grand grand Songkran. Due to multi-ethnic Myanmar, Yangon City restaurants also show the characteristics of all-inclusive, particularly in the Shan, Burman, China and India, the most significant. The essence of local food including curry cooked fish, meat and vegetables, and gourd soup, Burmese cuisine is characterized by more oil but less spicy and salty. Buddhist culture 1056, Theravada Buddhism became the main religion of Po Ganwang Guo. It is said that Nu legal Tuo Wang devout Buddhist, he conquered the Kingdom of Myanmar when the South won 32 straight, "Sanzo" by, thirty thousand Protestants and Theravada Buddhism, many skilled craftsmen, they bring the technology of building towers, Pagan promoted two centuries-long campaign of building towers. One story says that, when the "Three Scriptures" along the Irrawaddy River to Bagan, the Nu King rate Zhong Chen Tuo law to meet the Irrawaddy River, and their water will be "three Scriptures" on his head swam back to shore, placed in a white elephant symbol of the king's rights back. White elephant holding a "Three Scriptures" in Bagan dense forest walk, suddenly knees, Nu King Tuo think this is a legal manifestation of Buddha, Bagan built in the first urn, from Bagan extending over several centuries began a campaign of building towers. The construction of pagodas, Myanmar Theravada Buddhism, a tradition, whether it is the king, monks and civilians, to complete the construction of the pagoda is one of the greatest good results. A lifetime best hope is to build a tower dedicated to the Buddha. Exclusive access to good fruit is not an individual, but also can benefit all beings. Some ancient inscriptions, wrote: a person devoted to the temple all of her property, cattle, land and labor, and she hopes her good results thus obtained can be the king of that time with her, the future king, her parents , children and all living things share. Bagan's many pagodas from the king, ministers, monks and civilians ... ... Depending on the economic strength, social status and the aesthetic they have a different style. Making the most fanatical in the era of the tower, according to Western scholars, in the Bagan plain, had stands thirteen thousand pagodas. The folklore of Bagan, is called the "city of forty thousand pagodas", a 12th century Burmese culture and religious center. Now, in the desolate plain, only a 2230 and 416 Temple Pagoda. Even with some of the remnants of sites, all sites, but also around 5000. But compared to "four hundred and eighty Southern Temple," to, it is still very alarming. Myanmar has a saying called "multi-tower like Bagan as numerous as" a temple of learning areas including students, Buddhist temples, pools and dormitories, a large scale. We see an ancient pond, area football fields, the yellow stone bar, the pool covered with weeds, it places no one moved, the floor is petrified wood. Even today, the new tower was still under construction, but no less brilliant the ancient. Buddhist belief in reincarnation is their respect for all the world, everything is likely to be the reincarnation of the Buddha. Trees are revered, they have a diameter of rings, it will be used for incense. Especially the banyan, many shrines are hung on the banyan tree, which honors the gods, was often under the banyan tree meditation, chanting, praying. Buddhist sense, is a bodhi tree and the Buddha was born with, but it is also the essence of Buddha Buddhist meditation realize four places. Banyan Tree is the same family of plants with lime, so the eyes of people in Myanmar, banyan tree is the "Pagoda of living" and "sacred tree."
