Myanmar, earlier known as Burma or Union of Burma has a complex history and rich culture. Humans inhabited the region that is now Myanmar as early as eleven thousand years ago and some historians consider that Myanmar could be the earliest home of humankind. Eventhough the political situation in the country is aggravated due to strong military regime, tourists distinguish Myanmar as one of the most outstanding destinations in Asia.

The splendor of Myanmar makes it a sparkling brilliant of Asia. The artistic talent and genius of Myanmar residents, passing from generation to generation for thousands of years, have created a unique architectural and monumental landscape. Gold, the most favorite material, used by Myanmar artisans, is present in every direction you turn.
