With the continuous development of international Chinese education, the localization of Chinese education shows a strong upward trend. Northern Myanmar is connected with China by mountains and rivers, and the local Chinese education started early and has a large demand. Moreover, studies have shown that the sustainable development of Chinese teaching cannot be achieved without multi-dimensional localization of teachers, textbooks and institutions. This study aims to explore effective strategies to promote the localization of Chinese education in northern Myanmar. Qualitative methods were used to analyze the observation results. This study observed the church system, 20 Chinese schools and 566 teachers in the 20 schools in northern Myanmar, including 5 large-scale Chinese schools, 10 small and medium-sized Chinese schools and 5 cram schools. The results show that there is great room for improvement in teachers, teaching materials and system of Chinese schools in northern Myanmar. Finally, the author puts forward some localization strategies such as teacher team construction, textbook compilation and system planning. To a certain extent, it will promote the in-depth development of the localization of Chinese education in northern Myanmar and help build a humanistic community.
