Myanmar to host hot air balloon festival
November 4 (TravelAndy): Myanmar is ready to host a hot air balloon show to celebrate the traditional Tazaungdaing, the festival of light, from November 8- 15, 2016.
Many tourists are expected to flock to Taunggyi, the capital of Shan state in Myanmar, where the festival will be celebrated on a grand scale, said reports.
The festival begins with several papier-mâché hot air balloons floating in the sky in the afternoon. Later in the evening, the major highlight — the fire balloons — are released into the sky.
