Thayer said: "This new city also has a lot to offer, and we have visited a lot of attractions in the past few days, so we are going to move on to the next city." ”

"Okay, we also want to visit a few more attractions, I heard that a few attractions are quite good, Thayer will take us to visit them!"

"Okay, there are still a lot of attractions, due to the limited time we arrange, we can't go to all the attractions, let's choose a few representative ones to take you to visit. ”

"When I come to Myanmar, I want to see more, and I will arrange the itinerary of our trip to Myanmar for everyone!"

"Okay, Thayer is doing things, I'm still relieved, Dean Zhang praises you for being mature and steady, and reliable in your work!"

"Hahaha, thank you for your trust in me, let's go back and rest for the night, and the next morning, we will meet again!"

"Okay!"

After everyone went home and rested for the night, after having breakfast in the hotel the next day, they gathered the team, and when everyone arrived, Thayer and Zhou Sen set off with everyone.

"Let's go to Mandalay first, which is a famous city in Myanmar, the second largest city in Myanmar, located in the interior of south-central Myanmar, where several ancient dynasties once built their capitals, such as Bagan City, Ava City, and a city where a large number of Chinese people gather. ”

"Speaking of the city of Mandalay, the first thing to think of is that it is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, there are many monuments to see, many attractions, many tourists, and it turns out to be this ancient capital, and the mother river Irrawaddy River flows through the west of the city, and the city streets are horizontal and vertical, but unlike other places in the world, it is quite distinctive to use numbers as street names. ”

Zhou Sen also felt very curious, after getting out of the car, he went to take a look, and sure enough, the name of the street was marked with numbers, which was very interesting.

"This is really special, I've never used numbers to identify street names in other places!" Zhou Sen smiled.

"Yes, it's the first time I've seen it!" Liu Dazhuang said.

Mandalay is located in the suburbs of the current city, most of the buildings were destroyed in the Second World War, only the ancient imperial city and the city tower remain, because the famous ancient capital of Myanmar history Ava is in its suburbs, so the overseas Chinese in Myanmar call it the city of Wa, is the economic, cultural and transportation center of the central region.

"This is the second city in Myanmar, it is still very well-known, because it has a long history, it still has a very important location in Myanmar, there are more people, and it is more prosperous, I will take you to see it!"

Mandalay Mountain, northeast of the city, is 260 meters above sea level, with many monasteries, pagodas and monuments, a winding corridor from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, exquisite temple architecture, and white pagodas at the bottom of the mountain, which is one of the holy places of Buddhism in Myanmar and a tourist attraction.

"Myanmar, like Laos, has a lot of mountains, and because of the many mountains and inconvenient transportation, Mandalay Mountain is a famous Buddhist mountain, formerly known as Rakshasa Mountain. ”

Mandalay City is named after this mountain, Mandalay Mountain is 236 meters high, there are more than 200 large stupas and monasteries on the mountain, more than 1,000 small monasteries, there is a stone step leading to the top of Mandalay Mountain from the east, south and west directions, and there are famous eight temples along the way. ”

"There are also a lot of temples in Myanmar, when I go to Europe, I find that there are many churches, when I come to Southeast Asia, I also find that there are many temples, and when I go to Laos, there are many temples. ”

"Yes, people need to have faith, Europe has a lot of churches, mostly related to their religion and belief, culture, Southeast Asia also has Southeast Asian temples, also related to religion, belief and culture. ”

"Yes, I have been to Laos and found that no matter how backward the economy is, people still like to go to the temple, or need faith, sometimes, in real life, they are under pressure and cannot be solved, people are mentally anxious, and they still want to go to the temple, worship the Buddha, burn incense, and calm their minds!"

"Let's go to find an ancient capital, let me introduce to you, Mandalay Province is a province in Myanmar, including the western edge of the Shan State Plateau and the northern part of the Bago Mountains, the Irrawaddy River flows through the northwest side, and most of the river section forms the boundary between Sagaing and Magway provinces. ”

Thayer took everyone to see, Zhou Sen stood here, watching the river rolling past, Myanmar is basically a natural landscape here, there is not too much artificial transformation and construction, and Laos is still a bit similar.

This is the ancient capital, and it looks like it has the vicissitudes of history, but it still leaves its mark.

Standing here is still quite emotional, looking at the river, I always feel a sense of solemnity and desolation, there are many people, have experienced a lot of things, generation after generation has multiplied and passed on to the present.

"Yes, when I came here and looked at the river, I was in a very emotional mood!" Zhou Sen sighed.

Mandalay, the capital city, is partly a dry zone in Myanmar in the plains, with a long and well-equipped irrigation system, rich in rice, sesame, cotton, sugar cane, etc., and teak forests in the hilly areas, and the industry is mainly concentrated in Mandalay.

"The city is still different from Yangon, which is still mainly agricultural and has few industries, while Mandalay also has some industries, and many manufacturers have built factories here, which is quite large, and it has also increased local employment, and many young workers have entered the factories and earned wages to support their families. ”

The Yangon-Mandalay railway runs from north to south, and there is a line east into Shan State, and the main cities are Minjian, Tazek, Pyinmana, etc.

Mandalay City has industries such as tea packaging, silk weaving, winemaking, jade grinding, copper casting and gold leaf crafting, as well as shipbuilding, food, woodcarving, gold and silver jewelry, etc.

"Before, I also took everyone to visit the Burmese jewelry market, and Myanmar's jewelry is still very famous!"

Zhou Sen nodded, "Yes, a city still has characteristics, not only has a long history, ancient scenic spots, but also the agriculture and industry that support the city. ”

The city is also the distribution center of goods in central Myanmar and the largest transportation center in the interior, with waterways along the Irrawaddy River going up to Myitkyina and Yangon in the south, and a railway connecting Yangon in the south to Myitkyina and Lashio in the north, as well as Kanmyautachsii Airport in the suburbs.

"As the second city of Myanmar, the transportation is still okay, although it cannot be compared with developed countries, there is a certain gap, it can ensure the people's livelihood, and it also promotes local employment. ”

Thayer took Zhou Sen to visit, there are Daverin Castle, the Forbidden City, temples, monasteries and ancient British buildings, all with a sense of historical vicissitudes, leaving a deep impression on Zhou Sen.

The cultural and educational center, there are many schools, there are various majors, art, music and drama schools, there are museums and modern hospitals, and the local Burmese medicine and medicine are well-known in Myanmar, and people still love the city.
