The RED DISSOLVES and various CITY-STATES sprout up, rising and falling as they war with each other. EMMA (V.O.) Myanmar’s diverse demographic landscape emerged out of centuries of migration, invasion, and internal turmoil. The city-states DISSOLVE into the rise and fall of dynasties: the PEGU, BAGO, and HANTHARWADDY DYNASTIES (1287-1599), the PINYA DYNASTY (1309-60), the SAGAING DYNASTY (1315-64), the INWA DYNASTY (1365-1555), the TAUNGOO DYNASTY (1486-1752), and the KONBAUNG DYNASTY (1752-1885). EMMA (V.O.) Britain colonized the region-- then called Burma-- and deepened ethno- religious resentments by establishing a system of indirect rule in which they empowered local leaders from the minority groups while suppressing the majority Buddhist Bamar, lighting the flame for the wildfire that Burman religious nationalism was to become.

  • Back on the Tourist Trail After Almost 20 Years, Yangon
    FLY MYANMAR ORNING COMES early here. By 5am, the streets are full of vendors, all getting ready to cook breakfast for the city’s hungry workforce. Chai is the country’s GOLDEN morning drink of choice and is served in small glass cups, steaming hot and very sweet. !e little wooden chairs outside the vendors’ stalls are soon filled, as men and sarong-clad women stop for a hot drink before getting on with their day. MOMENTS It is a familiar scene in many cities across Asia, but this is not one of the continent’s more well-known visi- Yangon tor locales, such as Bangkok, Hanoi or even Beijing. Rangoon !is is Yangon, formerly known as Rangoon and, not Myanmar TEXT/ CORI HOWARD so long ago, the capital of Myanmar, a country still Burma more familiar to many as Burma. 2006 Supplanted by Naypyidaw as the country’s capital in Back on the tourist trail after almost 2006, Yangon remains Myanmar’s busiest and most 20 populous city. It is getting used to welcoming visitors 20 years, Yangon offers a whole new again, with various political wranglings, both domesti- generation a wonderful taste of cally and internationally, keeping it off the tourist trail for almost 20 years. Myanmar’s culture, cuisine and history !e drive from the gleaming, new international air- port into Yangon takes you through dusty, bustling roads where street hawkers sell piles of old shoes and 20 women walk by balancing heavily laden baskets of fruit on their heads. Barefoot monks in saffron robes shade their shaved heads from the hot sun with rattan fans, while bare-chested men in sarongs pedal rickshaws alongside diesel-belching buses and the occasional, somewhat incongruous, brand-new SUV.

Back to ‘old’ Asia where locals still wear traditional dress (the men where the Longyi which is a skirt-like piece of cloth), walk with bare feet and travel in trishaws and in the open country, by horse and cart. Where the pace of life is leisurely, the local food virtually unknown outside of Myanmar and the locals inquisitive, friendly and kind. Myanmar has so much to offer its newly invited tourists. An ethnically diverse nation there are around 135 officially recognised ethnic groups within Myanmar grouped into 8 major national ethnic races (primarily grouped by region).

  • A Myanmar Discovery, 6 Days MY-SIC-21 YANGON - BAGAN - MANDALAY - INLE LAKE
    A Myanmar Discovery, 6 days MY-SIC-21 YANGON - BAGAN - MANDALAY - INLE LAKE Day 1 Yangon Sightseeing in Yangon Yangon lies in the fertile delta of southern Myanmar, on the wide Yangon River. The city is filled with tree-shaded boulevards, while shimmering stupas float above the treetops. The city became the capital only in 1885, when the British completed the conquest of Upper Myanmar and Mandalay's brief period as capital of the last Burmese kingdom ended. Visit Sule Pagoda Sule Pagoda is a 48 metre high golden dome used by the British as the nucleus of their grid development plan for the city when it was rebuilt in the 1880s. The pagoda's peculiarity is its octagonal-shaped stupa, which retains its shape as it tapers to the spire. Visit Kandawgyi (Royal) Lake Kandawgyi Lake, also known as the Royal Lake, is a natural body of water located in the city centre and a good place for strolling and picnics. The lake is attractive at sunset when the glittering Shwedagon pagoda is reflected in its calm waters. Visit Chaukhtatgyi Pagoda The reclining Buddha at Chaukhtatgyi Pagoda in Yangon which is almost as large as the enormous figure of Shwethalyaung Buddha in Bago. It's housed in a large metal-roofed shed on Shwegondaing Lan, only a short distance north-east beyond the Shwedagon Paya. Surprisingly, this huge figure is little known and hardly publicised at all- if the chance to go to Bago to see the Shwethalyaung was missed, then don't pass on this opportunity to witness this colossal image.

  • Press Hotels) in 2006
    P R E S S K I T Belmond Governor’s Residence introduced by Gillian Rhys OVERVIEW Myanmar may be one of the largest countries in Southeast Asia but it is among the least known travel-wise. Bordered by Thailand, China and India and with a generous coastline edging the Bay of Bengal and the Andaman Sea, in recent years it has begun to open up to the outside world. Belmond was a pioneer of luxury tourism in the country, with the launch of the Belmond Road to Mandalay cruise ship on the Ayeyarwady River in 1995 and the acquisition of Belmond Governor’s Residence hotel in Yangon a year later. Yangon, the former capital, is the starting point for most travellers’ visits to Myanmar. Among the copious signs along the road from the airport is one that reads “Welcome to Myanmar - the Golden Country” – particularly appropriate for a land that’s teeming with gilded pagodas. As they enter the town visitors discover immaculate public gardens, striking stupas and a scattering of colonial buildings, some of which are now being salvaged and restored. One remaining gem is Bogyoke Aung San Market, formerly known as Scotts Market. Here, locals shop for fabrics and food (and visitors for jade, gems and gold). As the name suggests, it is full of Aung San Su Kyi paraphernalia. The likeness of The Lady is emblazoned on T-shirts, mugs, bootleg DVDs and more. The best time to visit the temples is in the early morning, when visitors can catch a glimpse of local life as Yangon starts to stir.
