From EULAC

Twin Taung Lake in Sagaing Region in central myanmar hotels is where rare spirulina is found and it is on the verge of extinction. An expert from the Renewable Energy Association myanmar hotels (REAM) was quoted as saying: "Twin Taung is a heritage not only for Myanmar but also for the world and our attempts are aimed at saving the lake."

Spirulina is a blue-green freshwater algae that is rich in protein and can help boost the immune system and regulate cholesterol. Blue-green spirulina is found only in Myanmar, Mexico and some African countries.

Twin Taung Lake is an extinct volcano and spirulina was found there in 1984. In 1987, provimin supplement was manufactured using spirulina from the lake.

The newspaper New Light of Myanmar reported that the Ministry of Environmental Conservation and Forestry and environmentalists were working together for the World Heritage List nomination.

Another report by 7 Day Daily News indicated that four lakes including Twin Taung would be nominated, the other three being Taung Pyauk, Twyn Ma and Yay Khar.

Myanmar's first entry onto the World Heritage List came with the inscription in June 2014 of the Pyu Ancient Cities, the remains of the three brick, walled and moated cities of Halin, Beikthano and Sri Ksetra in the irrigated landscapes in the dry zone of the Ayeyarwady (Irrawaddy) River basin.

In approving the sites, UNESCO said the locations "reflect the Pyu Kingdoms that flourished for over 1,000 years between 200 B.C and 900 A.D."

They are partially excavated archaeological sites, with remains including excavated palace citadels, burial grounds and early industrial production sites, as well as monumental brick Buddhist stupas, partly standing walls and water management features - some of which are still in use -that underpinned the organized intensive agriculture.

Aiming to be inscribed in 2015, Bagan is around 430 miles north of myanmar hotels's largest city Yangon and features an enchanting landscape with over 2,000 temples and stupas. The pagodas are mostly covered in reddish colour and religious monuments found in the area were built more than 1,500 years ago.

Thein Lwin, deputy director general of the Department of Archaeology, National Museum and Library in Nay Pyi Taw, said UNESCO planned to cooperate with Myanmar in training people living near the pagodas of Bagan as tour guides.

The World Heritage List inscription of the Pyu Ancient Cities and plans to have Bagan and Twin Taung inscribed are raising awareness among visitors to Myanmar of how much there is to see and do beyond Yangon.

It was reported the number of domestic and international tourists visiting the ancient Pyu city of Sri Ksetra had increased significantly since its World Heritage List inscription. Japanese tourists comprised the largest segment, and tour companies and guides were now adding the ancient city to their itineraries.

As the country's largest city and main international gateway, a stay in Yangon is in the travel plans of many who visit this fascinating destination, with its intriguing historical sights, bustling city pace of life and accommodation choice that includes some of the finest historic hotels in Southeast Asia - such as The Strand Yangon built in 1901 and Belmond Governor's Residence dating from the 1920s. Among the luxury hotels in Yangon are names like Shangri-La, MiCasa and Sedona, alongside the range of budget and mid-level Yangon hotels. Rating: Please Rate: Processing ...
