Ancient civilisations

Myanmar, formerly known as Burma, has a rich history dating back thousands of years. It was home to several ancient civilisations, including the Pyu, Mon, and Bamar peoples. The ancient city of Bagan, with its thousands of temples and pagodas, is a testament to the country's rich cultural heritage.

Buddhist Heritage

Buddhism has played a significant role in shaping Myanmar's culture and society. The country is dotted with countless Buddhist temples, monasteries, and stupas, many of which are architectural marvels and important pilgrimage sites. The Shwedagon Pagoda in Yangon is one of the most sacred Buddhist sites in Myanmar.
