The small nobs here, one after another, come and go, and every year will be different. However, they seem to show happiness and innocence, guarding the ancient pagodas, the magical land. Like the most peaceful star, warmly welcome, guests and friends from all over the world. The happy sand in the temple grows vigorously and keeps the youth. Simple and enthusiastic emotions infect pedestrians. Mahamuni Temple is located on the outskirts of Miaowu, the original temple where the famous Maha Muni Buddha was originally located. The appearance of the temple is very common. However, inside the temple, there is another world. The Buddha statue inside is magnificent, quietly sitting, and guarding the people of this village in peace. Away from the worldly Maha Muni Temple, waiting for the village, adopting every wandering soul, inspiring a sincere faith; waiting for this land, calm and self-confident; watching the pedestrians as if they are silent, telling An old story. Inadvertently, it breaks into the little-known Pu'er Tao Temple, and the sand under the tower is quietly guarded day after day. The quiet stupa, the memory of the light, faded away from the glory of the past, still standing here firmly, sticking to this beautiful village. In the face of this land, it seems to have broken into the exquisite scrolls, the quiet Buddhist temple, the trees are lush and green; the neat forest stands with a quiet temple; the warm and generous monks are waiting for the past and present of the temple; the cheerful atmosphere, the leap Into the ear. This long-lost intimacy is heartbreaking.

Mawlamyine, located in the southeastern part of Myanmar, is the fourth largest city in Myanmar with a population of just under 500,000. It is a lively city, but the simple, traditional lifestyle of the people remains, making it a fun place to walk around. The way I recommend walking around Mawlamyine is to not rely on a map, but to go to places that interest you, such as temples and pagodas, without going there. I came across a unique temple, as shown in the first photo. I also saw a cafe where people were having fun and chatting, as shown in the fifth photo. If you make eye contact with a local customer who seems to be a regular, be sure to enjoy a sweet Myanmar coffee with him☕ 🌼Name: Mawlamyine 🚘️Access: Accessible by bus from Yangon and Hpa-an. #Let's go to Asia
