Chapter 496: Yangon
"Every country needs to develop its economy to improve people's living standards, and China's Belt and Road Initiative is a very good win-win model for Myanmar and other countries along the Belt and Road to benefit, which will also be an important contribution to China's promotion of world economic development." Thayer said.
"I am still very optimistic about the cooperation between China and Myanmar, in recent years, China has brought a lot of investment projects and assistance to neighboring countries, and neighboring countries also welcome Chinese enterprises to cooperate, the 'Belt and Road' initiative has also brought huge development opportunities to Myanmar, which is something that both sides want, and I am also very supportive as a Burmese!"
Zhou Sen nodded and smiled, "The international friends introduced by Dean Zhang are very good, highly educated, reasonable, and have talked to me, and the impression left is very good!"
Thayer smiled, "Yes, Dean Zhang knows people, and he has been recognized by Dean Zhang, and the people recommended by him have very good character and credit!"
Zhou Sen asked Thayer: "The airport where we got off the plane just now, tell us about it!"
"Oh, the airport, okay, I forgot to introduce it, Reporter Zhou mentioned it, I'll introduce it to you!"
"Myanmar has three international airports, namely Yangon International Airport, Mandalay International Airport and Naypyidaw International Airport. ”
"Just now we came out of Yangon International Airport, located in Yangon, which is the main international airport in Myanmar, Myanmar has 12 international routes such as Yangon, Beijing, Yangon Bangkok, etc., and Myanmar International Airlines and many foreign airlines have flights on these routes, and Myanmar's private Bagan Airlines has also joined the competition and opened up the Yangon Bangkok route. ”
"So Myanmar's aviation industry is still quite good, better than Laos, Laos is Vientiane is better, other cities are not good, relatively backward, many are rural, or small towns. ”
"Yangon, the former capital of Myanmar, is the largest city in Myanmar and the capital of Yangon Province, located in the Ayeyarwady River Delta in southern Myanmar, which is our current city, this city is still very good, and I will take you to visit it for the next period of time. Thayer said.
"Then I will introduce the advantages of this city in detail, everyone will be very happy with me!"
"Let's find a hotel first and put our luggage away, so that it can be easier and we don't have to carry too heavy things!"
"Yes, let's find the hotel first, settle down, book a room, and don't panic, and then follow Thayer around to open his eyes!" Zhou Sen said.
"Okay!" everyone agreed.
When everyone found a place to live and put away their luggage, they were relieved to follow Thayer out again, it was still early at this time, it was still daytime, and there was still some time to see the scenery of the city.
Thayer began: "Yangon is the largest port in Myanmar and one of the largest ports in Southeast Asia, with gentle Yangon Hills jutting into the city from the north, and plains to the east, south and west of the city. ”
"This place is a port, and there are plains, this terrain is very good, it is relatively flat, and it is easy to develop the economy. ”
Zhou Sen nodded, "Yes, it's better, the terrain is relatively flat, it is easy to build, you can build a lot of buildings, and you can build houses for people." ”
"What's the climate like here?"
"Yangon is a tropical monsoon climate, although it is in the tropics, there is no sultry feeling, the average temperature is 27 °C, the average temperature difference of the whole year is less than 8 degrees, half a year is sunny, half a year is rainy, the climate is pleasant, located in the tropics, Yangon's soil is fertile alluvial soil, the year is divided into three seasons, namely the summer season, the rainy season, and the cool season. ”
"It's still hot, the average temperature is relatively high, people have to adapt to the climate here, maybe you just can't adapt to it, you always feel too hot, we Burmese people are used to it, wearing short-sleeved shirts, sometimes wearing shorts on the bottom, it's really hot. ”
Zhou Sen smiled, "I'm still wearing a long-sleeved shirt, it's too hot, I'm going to change to a short-sleeved shirt when I go back!"
"Yes, it may not be very suitable at first, but after a long time, I will get used to it, but our hotels here have electric fans and air conditioning, if it is hot outside, you can also go to shops, restaurants, there are electric fans and air conditioning, and there are also places to escape the heat, I will take you to it in the future." ”
Yangon's proximity to the mouth of the Yangon River made it extremely advantageous for the development of the shipping industry, so it soon became the largest commercial port in Myanmar.
"The mountains and plateaus that surround Myanmar to the east, north and west are like barriers, blocking the cold air from the Asian continent in winter, while in the south, because there are no mountain ranges, the warm and humid air flow from the Indian Ocean can be unimpeded, Myanmar has a good ecological environment and few natural disasters. ”
"That is, with these natural environments, the ecological environment of Myanmar is still relatively good, the natural scenery is very good, and the number of people who come to Myanmar to travel is gradually increasing. ”
"Myanmar has abundant rainfall, and most of the rainfall is concentrated in the summer when the southwest monsoon prevails, which is still relatively hot, and Southeast Asia is relatively hot, because it is closer to the equator. ”
Zhou Sen asked, "Are there any mineral deposits in Myanmar?"
"Myanmar is rich in mineral resources, including oil, natural gas, tungsten, tin, lead, silver, nickel, antimony, gold, iron, chromium, jade, etc. ”
"Oil is one of Myanmar's most important economic resources, and it is distributed in the middle and lower reaches of the Irrawaddy River in Ringanqiang, Xiaobu, Xingu, Ringaja, Rangyo, Minbu, Pranyong, Yodaya, Dandai, Bidaobin, Ringama, Yingdao, Yanbeicho and the southern islands of Sittwe. ”
"Non-ferrous metals such as gold, silver, copper, lead, zinc, tin, tungsten and manganese in Myanmar are widely distributed from the northern part of Kachin State to Maliwin in the south of Tanintharyi, among which gold is distributed in Mako and Shadusai in Kachin State, near Ban Mao in Sagaing Province and in the areas of Monmi and Gelu in Shan State. ”
"Silver-lead co-occurrence ore is found in southeastern Kachin State and along the Nmekai River, in Boton in Shan State, in Buri and Kyaukqi in Mandalay Province, in Kayin State in Korutu and Dichaya, and in Tanintharyi Province in Dawei. ”
"Tin-tungsten mixed ore is distributed in Taunggyi, Kayah State, Kayin State Thongtong, Mawlamyine and Dawei and Mergui in Tanintharyi Province. ”
"Zinc and manganese are found in the southern part of Shan State, antimony is found in the northwest, north and east of Shan State, Kayah State, Kayin State and the Shan State is a multi-metal mining area with gold, silver, red copper, lead, zinc and antimony. ”
"Iron is found in the upper reaches of the Nme Khai River, northwestern Shan State, eastern Mandalay, and coal is not abundant in Myanmar, but it is found in Dawei, Inti, Shwe Lam, Namdu in Shan State, Gelu, some areas in Kachin State, east of Mandalay, Sittwe in Rakhine State and Mergui in Tanintharyi. ”
"So Myanmar's mineral resources are still quite rich, and in recent years, we have cooperated with many enterprises to exploit them, and these resources are also one of Myanmar's important economic incomes, which is very important!"
