4 of the best places to photograph in Myanmar
From the golden Shwedagon Pagoda to the fishermen of Inle Lake — where to go and when for the best photos in Myanmar.
Myanmar is one of the most photogenic countries in Asia. Here are the places we return to again and again — with free photos you can use from each.
1. Shwedagon Pagoda, Yangon
Come one hour before sunset, walk clockwise around the platform and wait for the lights to come on. The gold glows for about twenty minutes after the sun goes down.
2. Bagan at sunrise
Over 2,000 temples across the plain. From October to March, hot air balloons fly at sunrise.
3. Inle Lake
The leg-rowing Intha fishermen are the classic shot. Hire a boat before 6am for soft light and calm water.
4. U Bein Bridge, Mandalay
The best silhouettes are from a boat on Taungthaman Lake at sunset.
