After Thayer took everyone to taste the food of Myanmar, he returned to the hotel for two days of rest, and then took everyone to the next city in Myanmar.

An important port city in Burma, the capital of Ayeyarwady Province, in the southwest of the border, on the left bank of the Bosheng River in the Irrawaddy River Delta, a historic rice trading center, with machinery manufacturing, shipbuilding, metal processing, rice milling, pottery, sawmilling and other industrial sectors.

"This is also an important city in Myanmar, the population is still very large, in the next few days, I will take you to this city to see, field trips, see the natural scenery here, see the economic development of this city, see the life of the locals. ”

"You must be curious, is it the first time for Reporter Zhou to come to Bosheng?"

Zhou Sen nodded, "Yes, it is my first time to come to Bosheng, I have never been to Myanmar before, we Chinese are more familiar with Thailand and Singapore, and we used to pay more attention to those areas with better economic development on TV, and rarely pay attention to places with relatively backward economic development." ”

Thayer nodded, "Yes, in comparison, Laos and Myanmar are indeed much behind the rich countries of Singapore and Brunei, and there are many reasons for this. ”

"Singapore and Brunei are influenced by Europe, they are more westernized, have a good geographical location, Brunei by exporting oil, but also obtained wealth, per capita GDP, is also relatively rich, and we Myanmar is different, Myanmar and Laos have high mountains, more mountains, resulting in inconvenient transportation, inconvenient transportation, other economic development has also encountered difficulties. ”

"So when you go to Laos and Myanmar, you will find backwardness, and this backwardness is reflected in all aspects, even the clothes worn by the monks look much simpler, and some of the clothes are very worn, but they continue to be worn, and there is no new one to replace. ”

"There are also many young monks, who look to be in their teens, holding small hands and standing on the side of the street, holding clay pots, begging from passing tourists, looking very pitiful. ”

"Yes!" Zhou Sen also deeply realized, "The development of the world is uneven, there are developed countries, there are developing countries, and there are poor and backward countries. ”

"Coming to countries along the Belt and Road for field trips and interviewing locals, I can better understand what the world is like, and I partnered with Liu Dazhuang to shoot a series of programs, and I also have the experience that the more places I go, the more places I see, the more people I meet, the more things I experience, and the more profound my feelings. ”

"Dean Zhang mainly sent me to complete the field trip to the countries along the Belt and Road in Southeast Asia, and after I went, I found that Southeast Asian countries are also very different, due to different geographical locations, the differences are quite large, as well as historical and cultural reasons, which are a combination of many reasons, and the current situation is a combination of many factors, after many years, gradually accumulated, and formed the result. ”

"We also hope that the programs we shoot will take the domestic audience to understand the countries along the 'Belt and Road' from a new perspective, and also communicate with the local people face-to-face at close range, and also listen to the voices of the local people, I found that it is still easy for people to communicate with each other. ”

Thayer nodded, "The locals are very simple, although they are poor, but the people are still hospitable, I took my friends to the local villagers' homes, and the local villagers are willing to stay with friends for a few days, and will also provide food, and warmly entertain guests, which is still simple and kind." ”

"I'll give you a chance to take a look and feel it for yourself!"

"Okay, thank you Thayer for your explanation and warm hospitality!"

The Burmese umbrella produced is quite famous, and the export is mainly rice and teak.

"Speaking of which, I'm going to introduce you, I think it's a special feature of Myanmar!" Thayer said.

Friends who have been to Myanmar must have been impressed by a beautiful and beautiful umbrella placed in its streets and alleys, which is not only famous throughout Myanmar, but also a kind of Myanmar "specialty" Bosheng umbrella that tourists from all over the world love to put down.

Thaya took a Bosheng umbrella and handed it to Zhou Sen, who had never seen this kind of umbrella before, and was very curious.

"The Bosheng umbrella is generally produced in Burma's Bosheng, which is a very hot city in Ayeyarwady Province, Myanmar, and the Bosheng umbrella is specially designed to protect against heat, and it cannot shelter from the wind and rain," Thayer said. ”

"Nowadays, you can buy beautiful umbrellas not only in Pak Sang, but also in Yangon and Mandalay, and it is the perfect gift for friends and family. ”

"If a tourist asks me, what do I take back as a gift to my relatives and friends?"

"I would recommend them to buy a Pak Seng umbrella, which is handmade from natural ingredients and is an icon of Myanmar culture, named after the Pak Sheng native to Ayeyarwady province. ”

"Because this umbrella is handmade from natural raw materials, and the craftsmanship is exquisite, the skeleton of the umbrella is ingenious, and the umbrella cover has a variety of beautiful patterns, which is not only famous in Myanmar, but also the favorite of tourists from all over the world to Myanmar. ”

"This umbrella is not only beautiful in color, simple and practical, but also has plenty of sunlight, and can shade the sun when the sun is shining!"

"Yes!" Thayer nodded, "The Bosheng umbrella is used to protect against heat, it is generally produced in a very hot city in Myanmar, specially used to protect against heat, unlike other umbrellas, the Bosheng umbrella can not block the wind and rain, now not only in Bosheng can buy these beautiful Bosheng umbrellas, but also in Yangon, Wa City These places can be bought, it is the most suitable thing to give to relatives and friends as gifts, it can be used as a souvenir, it is very beautiful, there are all kinds of different patterns." ”

This umbrella is not only famous throughout Myanmar, but also a Myanmar specialty loved by tourists from all over the world.

Zhou Sen looked at it, and sure enough, the Bosheng umbrella in his hand was very good-looking, Thayer took him to a shop that sold Bosheng umbrellas, it was a small shop, the scale of the store was not large, the shopkeeper was wearing the local costume of the Burmese, after Thayer introduced Zhou Sen, the shopkeeper was very polite, saluted, and kindly asked Zhou Sen what questions he had, and he was willing to be interviewed and answer Zhou Sen's questions.

"Boss, how many years have you been running this Bosheng umbrella shop?"

"Oh, it's been a long time, this shop was originally opened by my father, it's been a long time, my father is old, I took over, the business is still good, many tourists come to me to choose Bosheng umbrellas, I still have a lot of patterns in this store, there are different colors, different patterns, all kinds, customers can choose according to their preferences!"

The owner of the shop was very patient, and took Zhou Sen to visit his small shop, although the small shop is not big, but it is full of dazzling Bosheng umbrellas, the boss opened a few Bosheng umbrellas, explained their advantages to Zhou Sen, so that Zhou Sen felt very kind.

"It's not easy for us to make some money by buying and selling on a small scale, supporting our families, and barely making ends meet with this small shop, and I'm also very grateful to the customers who came into my small shop to buy Bosheng umbrellas!"
