MYANMAR

MYANMAR & YANGON

To encounter this unique country is something very special its millennium-old history, its countless ancient temples and pagodas, unspoiled nature, beautiful beaches and, last but not least, the warm hospitality of the Burmese people invariably cast their spell on visitors! Hardly any other Asian country has preserved as much of its cultural authenticity as Myanmar. Yangon with a population of over 5 million inhabitants, is lined by the Yangon River in the West and the Bago River in the South. Compared with other Asian cities of similar size, it gives the impression of being green and full of trees, above which shimmering pagodas seem to float. The most famous and most revered monument in Yangon is the Shwedagon Pagoda, a must for every visit to Myanmar. More gold is said to have been used in building it than is possessed by the Bank of England. The centre of Yangon still retains many impressive old buildings from the British colonial period.
