The Golden Rock is easy to get to from Yangon

The not to rehash something already discussed, but the Golden Rock is one of the three major religious sites in Myanmar. It’s not to far from Yangon just a few hours to the southeast in Mon State. The Golden Rock is easy to get to from Yangon and you ride along a new highway most of the way so it goes smoothly. If you left early enough or if the bus was a direct bus, you could conceivably take a day trip to the Golden Rock. Most people like it in Myanmar tour.
Kyaiktiyo Pagoda (Golden Rock) is a pagoda built on top of a granite boulder, which seems to defy gravity as it seems it to fall down the hill at any moment. The pagoda is situated in Mon State, and is a well-known Buddhist pilgrimage site. The boulder is entirely covered by gold leaves pasted on by devotees. The legend says that it is a strand of Buddha's hair that keeps the pagoda balancing on the edge of the hill.

Getting to Kyaiktiyo is easy with the help of “Win Express” buses starting from the Highway Bus Station, also known as Aung Mindalar Bus Station. These buses will take you from the country’s capital to Kinpun and Kyaiktiyo. There are also pick-up trucks that could bring you all the way to Kinpun so that you can see the magnificent Golden Rock on your way there. The first trip usually leaves at exactly 6:30 a.m. and the buses travel at hourly intervals up to 2:30 p.m. You will pay 8,000K for the fare and the journey usually lasts for about 5 hours.

Inle Lake is remarkably different from the three key tourist destinations of Myanmar

Inle Lake is remarkably different from the three key tourist destinations of Myanmar: Yangon, Bagan and Mandalay. It is significantly smaller compared to the aforementioned main cities. It does not have as many attractions, but it is an established tourist centre in the country. This is because Inle Lake presents its visitors a different side of Myanmar; it is an example of a rural countryside town that is calm and peaceful, perfect for a vacation of relaxation. The views are also amazing. Tourists get to see the diverse landscape of Myanmar through the areas that surrounds the lake. Most people like it in Burma tour / Myanmar tour.

Inle Lake is located in the centre of the greatest depression in Myanmar's Nyaungshwe Valley, situated between two mountain ranges. With a length of 22km, a width of 11km, and an elevation of 875 metres, Inle Lake is considered as the second-largest natural lake in the country. It is interesting to note that the lake does not have an actual shoreline, but its shores and islands are home to 17 villages on stilts.     
Lake Inle is the second largest lake in Myanmar with an estimated surface area of 44.9 sq miles, and one of the highest at an altitude of 2900 feet. Inle Lake is in the heart of Shan State, about 400 km north of capital Yangon.

The best times to visit the Bridge are just after sunrise or just before sunset

Amarapura biggest draw and easily one of Myanmar's most photographed sites is this remarkable 1.2 km long teak footbridge leading across the shallow Taungthaman Lake in Myanmar Mandalay division.

The best times to visit the Bridge are just after sunrise or just before sunset, when hundreds of villagers commute back and forth across it. A popular sunset activity is hiring Myanmar boats to get close up looks of the 1060 post bridge from the water. In the dry season, however the lake dwindles greatly in size in Mandalay Myanmar.

Inle’s tomatoes are the finest in Burma

The form of “paddling leg” is most often used by local fishermen, and the style would be something like this: one foot rests on the stern of the boat, and the other leg is wrapped to hold the oar and propel against water. Most people like it in Myanmar tour or Burma tour package.

Seed is planted in the fertile mud and the young plants are supported by bamboo canes. Depending on the season they are used for tomatoes, cucumbers, gourds and pulses, but are, unsurpringly, not suitable for root vegetables. There’s plenty of space to grow onions, garlic and carrots on dry land around the shore of the lake, and rice is also prolific here.

Inle’s tomatoes are the finest in Burma and are picked green, or just blushing, and transported all over Burma during the 8 month growing season. They are used to make a classic Burmese tomato salad, which includes sliced tomato (no pips), sliced shallots and peanuts, bound in a sesame seed dressing.
