Even those who haven’t been to Myanmar should be familiar with Shwedagon Pagoda, the Mahamuni Buddha, Kyaiktiyo Pagoda, and maroon-clad monks. Thousands of Buddhist temples and pagodas, gilded pagodas, stepped temples, and dazzling monasteries were built a millennium ago in Bagan, the capital of the Bagan Kingdom.The UN now protects more than 5,000 pagodas. This fully demonstrates the long history of Buddhism in Myanmar, where 90 percent of the population practice Buddhism. The hanging Buddhist prayer ornaments in the image not only represent Taoyuan and Myanmar’s friendship, but also convey heartfelt and genuine blessings from this Buddhist country.
