Attractions in Yangon 

Here are a few attractions you should visit in Yangon.

Sule Pagoda                      - is one of the shrines with Buddha’s sacred hair-relic and situated at the center of the city.

Bogyoke Market               - if you just take a walk for 15 minutes from Sule pagoda, you will reach the Bogyoke market where you can buy Myanmar traditional handicrafts, Jewelleries, and

                                            some antique stuff.

Secretariat                         - is one of the historic landmarks where General Aung San and 6 cabinet members were assassinated. It will take around 25 minutes if you walk from downtown.

Bogyoke Museum             - a colonial-era villa where General Aung San lived before the assassination. It is a bit far from downtown so I recommend taking a taxi.   

Kantawgyi Garden             - you can enjoy your evening with a cup of tea or having dinner at the restaurants or cafes in the garden. You can also see Karaweik, a building in the shape of

                                                a mythical bird.

Shwedagon Pagoda           - constructed 2600 years ago with Buddha’s sacred hair- relic inside. It is best to go to Shwedagon Pagoda in the early morning or late evening.

National Races Village      - if you can’t go everywhere in Myanmar, you should go there and see famous landmarks of Myanmar because it has the sampling building of each region

                                                 in Myanmar.

Yangon Night Life              - if you are a street food lover, you should go china town where you can see Chinese food, Myanmar food and also BBQ and grills. Or you can chill your evening 

                                                on the cruise at Yangon River. You can check our website https://green-myanmar.com/yangon-river-cruise-tour.php

Another fun fact about Myanmar is Thingyan Festival where people throw water at each other. If you are in Myanmar between  April 13^th and 16^th, it is a festival you should never miss.
