Yangon
Green and clean make Yangon different from other capitals of Southeast Asia.
Harmonized with its Victorian buildings, tree-lined avenues, lakes and parks,
Yangon reminds the bygone era. Bustling and friendly street vendors, colorful
stalls, traditionally dressed city people, running old Chevrolet buses, and
trishaws, all make Yangon downtown life like a museum. Shwedagon, the heart of
Yangon, is the most revered pagoda in the country. Towering over 100 meters
above the city, Shwedagon is predominant for Buddhists and non Buddhists alike.
This elegantly shaped gold-laden pagoda reflects the beliefs and customs of
Myanmar.
