Yangon is no longer the capital of Myanmar, but it remains the country’s commercial hub. There are many fascinating attractions to explore in Yangon, such as the Shwedagon Pagoda, notable landmarks of Myanmar, the Chauk Htet Gyi reclining Buddha, colonial buildings, and Scott Market. Join this tour with me and experience Yangon through the eyes of a local.
In 1755, King Alaungpaya conquered central Myanmar and established a new city at Dagon, a fishing village that had existed for centuries around the Shwedagon Pagoda. He renamed the place Yangon, meaning ‘end of strife.’
Under the guidance of Englishmen Dr. William Montgomery and Captain Fraser, Rangoon became the most beautiful and cleanest city in Southeast Asia and was made the capital. The monumental architecture that still adorns the city’s downtown offers a glimpse into the prosperity of colonial Rangoon.
