Myanmar, Around Yangon

Yangon is a small yet busy capital city and as such has the workings of government within its boundaries. Situated on the River Yangon, it has a flourishing port, but the most spectacular sights are the Buddhist temples, pagodas and stupas.



Arriving by air, the visitor will see golden domes dotting the thick greenery of the outlying areas of the city.

Set on Singuttara Hill, is the most holy of all these shrines, and the place every visitor must see -- The Shwedagon Pagoda.
