Also known as Rangoon, Yangon has earned the nickname ‘The Garden City of the East’ due to its lush green trees, shaded parkland and beautiful lakes. But Yangon is also the commercial capital and main gateway to Myanmar.
Although Yangon’s infrastructure is undeveloped compared to those of other major cities in Southeast Asia, it has the largest number of colonial buildings in the region today. While many high rise residential and commercial buildings have been constructed or renovated around downtown, Greater Yangon in the past two decades was most satellite towns that surround the city continue to be deeply impoverished.
Calling at Thilawa Port, for tours to the sparkling destination of Yangon, a growing and developing cosmopolitan destination, Yangon is thriving with businesses, cafes and tourist restaurants. The most iconic and spectacular part of this location is its tradition, history, religious influence and friendly locals.
