#getgoing2025 Mrauk U Mrauk U is an ancient city located in Myanmar’s Rakhine State, often referred to as the “Bagan of the West.” The city boasts over 700 temples, pagodas, and ruins, many dating back to the 15th century during the Mrauk U Kingdom’s height. The most notable structures include the Shittaung Pagoda and the Htukkanthein Temple, which is designed like a fortress. The site’s remote location and relatively undeveloped state make it a peaceful alternative to the more visited Bagan. Mrauk U’s hilltop pagodas offer panoramic views of the surrounding landscape, making it an ideal destination for history enthusiasts and photographers. #MraukU #AncientMyanmar #HiddenGems #RakhineState

1. Some scenery will never be forgotten in a lifetime I have seen many sunrises on the road, but I would say that the sunrise in Mrauk U is the most moving I have ever seen, followed by Machu Picchu in Peru. The reason why she is moving is not only because of her misty or beautiful morning light, but also because the whole atmosphere is peaceful and people are very close to nature. Mrauk has a unique geographical location and is surrounded by mountains, so there are many places to watch the sunrise. Plus there aren't many tourists. For example, when I went to U Mya Wapaya, even in December, there were only two other tourists from Italy there at sunrise. Without the hustle and bustle of tourists checking in, there is only me, the sounds of birds, wind and cicadas. If you ask me if I regret making the long journey to Mrauk U, my answer is definitely "no". No matter how much prosperity you give me, it may not satisfy me, but just this sunrise in the morning, I feel that everything is worth it.

The Rohingya is a special ethnic group in the Arakan region of Rakhine State, Myanmar. It is a direct descendant of Indians and Bangladeshis. Most of them come to Rakhine from the sea. The contradiction between the Rakhine and the Rohingya is not made overnight. The mutual grievances can be traced back to the British colonial era. At that time, under British Indian rule, most of the Rohingyas who believed in Islam migrated from west to east to Burma, which is also a British colony. The Luoxing Asians are generally farmers or fishermen. They often contradict the local Rakhine people who believe in Buddhism. In the Second World War, the Luoxingya people stood on the side of the British side, while the Ruoqiang people and the Burmese together launched a struggle against colonial rule, and the battle between the two sides planted seeds. Rohingya people have their own language, but the text is not mature, there is no alphabet, and it was once lost. Some Rohingya intellectuals tried to invent a new alphabet to resurrect their language, but the internal disagreement was serious, and this attempt was not successful. Rohingya people because most of them do not have citizenship, Rohingya people in Myanmar cannot afford higher education, and traditional religious schools cannot meet the educational needs of the people.

The hot sun has created the burning enthusiasm of Luo Xingya people. Although this is a controversial nation, walking into the real life of ordinary people, they always have an inherent smile to impress you. Because of the long-term closure, it is rarely disturbed by the outside world. In the face of rare strange faces, Rohingyas childrens smiles are simple and natural, without any complicated modifications, but make every feeling Travellers are unforgettable. Like most closed nations, the Rohingya people are poor, but they are naturally optimistic and enthusiastic. Whether walking in the streets or in the fields of Rohingya village, there will always be a lot of enthusiastic people, laughing and waving at you, saying hello.

Some people, when they fall into the world, are ready to eat and drink; however, they always cry and complain about the complexity and change of the world. Some people, from falling to the ground, can't eat; however, they always smile and appreciate the gift of the world. When walking in the village of Rohingya in Rakhine State, looking around with a curious mood, those wonderful scenery moments stop in the heart. However, as time goes by, it slowly disappears; only the piece of Zhang pure smile, originally not deliberately remembered, but in a casual moment, forever in the heart.

The light of the Buddha's body, through the stone pillars of the temple, sprinkled on the earth, lighting up the morning of Miaowu. The streets in the morning, caught in a busy, hard-working woman, heavy goods overhead, rushed to the market. Among the hundreds of temples in Miaowu, Jinshan Temple is undoubtedly the most memorable one. The temple is located on a high mountain, and a golden stupa stands on the top of the mountain. The temple was once very grand, stretching from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, and now it no longer exists, leaving only the rugged trails of trees to the top of the mountain. However, the reason why it is unforgettable is that it can get the most open view of the entire Miaowu area. Standing on the top of the mountain, you can see the entire village and the beauty of the Chin State Plain. The great Golden Buddha Temple, standing on the peak of the mountain, is still remembering its majestic dreams.

The ancient pagoda records the centuries-old history of Miaowu. The teenager under the pagoda, shoulder-to-shoulder, sitting on the rock wall filled with vicissitudes, grew up in the endless laughter.

Under the sun, stretch forward vigorously. The little sand in the bath, the water drops from the cheeks down, the dust of the washed face dispels the anger in the heart. The midday sun shines on the village dotted with the pagoda; it adds a dazzling color to the original monotonous picture.

I can't find any suitable words to describe the beauty of Miaowu, because it is synonymous with beauty.

In the small villages of Rakhine State, people live a quiet life. This is the most beautiful memory under the pagoda. The happiness between the partners in the village is sincere. Inadvertent moments, I fixed those memories and warmed my heart. Next to the pagoda, the villagers are filled with small boats in the quiet lake. On the roadside, the mischievous child is making faces. Everything here is beautiful and moving

Like the Bagan in the east, the king of Rakhine is also in the midst of this former Rukai. Today, countless pagodas are scattered around this beautiful village.
