DAY 2<br />

National Museum<br />

Apart from housing the primate and fossil hall,<br />

hall of prehistory, hall of early history, Myanmar<br />

history hall, Myanmar arts hall and Myanmar<br />

performing arts hall, the museum also has a<br />

mini theatre, a VIP area, a public rest area and<br />

an exhibition hall for the state-level gifts the<br />

country's President has received. The museum<br />

which began construction around 2010 was<br />

developed to be a museum worthy of the<br />

national status highlighting the cultural<br />

heritage and the soft power of Myanmar with<br />

elegance. It is open between 9:30am and<br />

4:30pm every day except on Monday and<br />

government holidays.<br />

a few natural resorts and spending a night in<br />

one of the lodges, enjoying a water balloon<br />

or water gun fight, going for a walk or a jog<br />

and participating in the festivities of the<br />

Entrance to the Myoma Market<br />

DAY 3<br />

Myoma Market<br />

A local market filled with traders, suppliers<br />

and tourists, it gets busy real quick in here. It<br />

is also easy to get lost as the market is quite<br />

the maze with plenty of packed sections and<br />

stalls selling just about everything under the<br />

sun. This includes hardware, clothing, jewellery,<br />

electrical appliances, books, plumbing<br />

materials, tailoring services and sewing<br />

machines, flowers, food and imported goods.<br />
