Yangon is increasingly starting to resemble other congested, polluted capital cities of Asia, but in most key places it's still very pleasant. The major attraction here is Schwedagon Pagoda, which is one of the world's most amazing sights! Bogyoke Market is worth seeing, though you'll probably have to fight some traffic to get in and out of there.

My husband and I arrived Yangon the night before Cyclone Nagis hit the city. We were enjoying ourselves and the city was truly amazing. We felt like we were taken 60 years back in time to see what it was like to be in Asia then. The next day cyclone devastated most of the city and the city looked like jungle. huge trees were down. Roads were ...

The food -- Burmese, Indian, Chinese -- is very good, as is the tea. Tea shops are a particular treat. For great coffee, go to Aroma or, on Sule ...

I was in Myanmar this past March, & I was a bit reluctant to go because of all the news about the horrible government. Nevertheless, I still went, & I'm glad I did. Myanmar is such a breathtakingly beautiful country. I stayed @ the Traders Hotelin downtown Yangon, & it's in a very great location. Schwedegon Pagoda was the most ...

I was born there and people havn't changed. People are hoping to change the country one day and they still believe in it. People really work hard to survive each day.

The infrastracture is going backward instead of developing. No electricity in the city surburbs, a house would only get 8 hours a day on a lucky day.

There are many beaches and value for money to travel. Great asia food for money in a good hotel.
