My country, Myanmar has a lot of beautiful and interesting places. If you want to know about Myanmar's history you should visit Bagan. It has a lot of pagodas and you can also see traditional art in the ancient pagoda. If you want to chill out, you should visit Chaung-Thar-Beach and Pyin-Oo-Lwin. Pyin-Oo-Lwin is a hill town. If you like mountain climbing, you should visit Kayin State, you can climb Mount Zwegabin.
