Things to do in Yangon

However replaced by Naypyidaw in 2005 as a capital city, Yangon is still the largest and one of the most important cities in Myanmar. The city was formed under the influence of British, Burmese and Chinese cultures, which contributed greatly not only to the city's architectural landscape, but its people, lifestyles and everything. No other major Asian city can rival the exotic atmosphere on its streets: walking down a local street, you will pass by gigantic colourful pagodas and meet all sorts of barefoot strangers, smiling both at each other and those adventurers who've covered so many kilometres to travel their picturesque city.
