#MarchGoodPlaces2025 Yangon, Myanmar is a world-famous tourist resort city. Every day, thousands of tourists come here for sightseeing and vacation. There are many museum attractions in Yangon. This time I will introduce a famous museum attraction in Yangon: National Museum of Myanmar မြန်မာနိုင်ငံ အမျိုးသားပြတိုးသားပြတိုးသား ပြတိုးသားပြတိုးသားပြတိုးသား ြ. Tickets are 5000 Kyats for foreigners and 500 Kyats for locals. The items on display are amazing and include original clothing from past kings and queens, weapons, jewellery, beautifully carved teak chests and stands, thrones, everything plated with Burmese gold. Different eras of Myanmar are shown through stone rubbings, carvings and pagodas at famous sites such as Shwedagon Pagoda, Mingun, Bagan and Mandalay. Even prehistoric fossils have been found throughout Myanmar. Well worth a visit.

It turns out that Myanmar also has a harp; the way they perform percussion is a bit like modern pop drummers; a crocodile as a harp stand, what would Chinese scholars think of this? But is there any essential difference between decorating with crocodiles and decorating with dragons? Dressed as birdmen dancing, is there such a thing in China? The Dance of Feathered Garments? The people of Chu regard the phoenix as a totem, is there a birdman dance? I wonder what the content of their music and dance is. In Indonesia, the Ramayana is the highlight, what about Myanmar?
