尽管被称为古都,曼德勒作为缅甸首都的时间其实非常短暂,而且其历史亦没有外界想像的那么长。然而这无碍于这个缅甸以人口计第二大城市维持其商贸重镇的地位。在曼德勒,除了皇宫与历史遗址,就是市场的天下。从中央市集(ZeigyoMarket)的72行面面俱到,到玉器市场的日进万金,这个城市的血管里流淌的都是商人的血液。 Despite being called the ancient capital, Mandalay’s time as Burma’s capital is actually very short, and its history has not been as long as imagined outside. However, this is without prejudice to the fact that Myanmar, the second largest city in terms of population, maintains its business and trade center. In Mandalay, in addition to the royal palace and historical sites, is the world market. From the 72 lines of the Central Market (Zeigyo Market) to the 10,000 yen of the Jade Market, the blood in the city flows into the blood of traders.
