Uppatasanti Pagoda is the prominent landmark in NAY PYI TAW, the capital city of Myanmar.
The pagoda houses a Buddha Tooth Relic.
it is nearly a same size replica of Shwedagon Pagoda in Yangon.
Also called 'The Peace Pagoda', its height is 99 meters.
'Uppatasanti' roughly translates to 'Protection against Calamity'.
It is a name of a 'sutra', a genre of ancient and medieval Indian texts,
prepared by a monk in the early 16th century.
It is to be recited in time of crisis, especially in the face of foreign invasion.
The construction of Uppatasanti Pagoda began in late 2006 and completed in 2009.
It was built under the guidance of 'Than Shwe', Head of Burma's Ruling State Peace and Development Council.
The invitation card for the Stake-driving Ceremony opened with a phrase
'Ratchathani Nay Pyi Taw' or 'The Royal Capital where the president resides'.
Pyinmana is a town next to Nay Pyi Taw.
And, this place is recognized as one of the most important places in Myanmar History
because during World War II, the National Army was stationed here.
This might be the main reason, a lot of people believe,
that the new capital or Nay Pyi Taw was built next to this place.
You can see there are a lot of monuments around the town.
Especially, this one we are going to pay respect to, is General Aung San Statue / Monument.
General Aung San is believed to be the hero who liberated Myanmar from the British Colonial Rule.
He didn't have a chance to see the liberation because he passed away a few years before that.
A lot of people come here to pay respect to him.
Alright. I think this is a good opportunity for 'Hey! Asean' to come to this place.
NAY PYI TAW became the capital city of Myanmar in 2006,
after the government decided to move the capital from Yangon.
It is known as the last economic frontier of the world.
NAY PYI TAW has recently held a number of large-scale events,
including the Southeast Asian Games and World Economic Forum.
Myanmar's vast parliament in NAY PYI TAW is definitely a sight to see.
You will also have a chance to explore NAY PYI TAW's widest highway with 20-lane road.
Normally, the Parliament House can only be viewed from a distance.
You need to ask for permission in advance to be able to get inside the property.
Here I am at the National Museum in NAY PYI TAW. And, this is a new place.
It has been opened back in 2015. There are many items since an early age until the modern age.
I'm standing now in one of the main halls, witnessing the gorgeous throne of King Thibaw,
who is the last king of the country.
At the National Museum, they have dedicated room just for ASEAN.
ASEAN is short for the Association of Southeast Asian Nations.
At first, there were only 5 member countries when it was founded on 8 August 1967.
But now, we are complete. We have 10 member countries.
We are working towards the future together as one community.
We've travelled around 200 kilometers northeast of NAY PYI TAW,
and here we are at a beautiful place, Inle Princess Resort in Shan State.
Located in a valley between two mountain ranges,
the beautiful Inle lake is the second largest lake in Myanmar.
It is famous for its floating villages and gardens and the unique way of local life of Inthar people based on the water.
'Inthar' means 'Sons of the Lake'.
Inthar people earn their living by planting, fishing, and making crafts.
They use long-tail boats for local transportation due to the shallowness of the lake.
Inthar fishermen, perched on the back of his teak canoe holding his conical bamboo net and harpoon while rowing with his other leg,
has long been an iconic image of the people of Inle and Myanmar.
There are many people living by the lake, right?
Yeah. For most Inthar people, they live on the lake and the houses are on the water.
There are a lot of villages which are comprised of 2 parts,
those who live on land and those who live on water.
