Gritty, Grimy And Undeniably Gorgeous | The Ultimate Self-Guided Yangon City Tour
Channel: Braden and Taylor
Date: 2019-03-21

Gritty, grimy and undeniably gorgeous, Yangon, Myanmar is without a doubt the most fascinating, hectic Southeast Asian city we’ve ever experienced. With a metro area of nearly 8 million people, exploring the city can be a daunting task, but as usual, we decided to lace up our walking shoes and hit the major sites by foot.

We began our day at the country’s most sacred buddhist site, the Shwedagon Pagoda, thought by some to be the oldest pagoda in the world at 2,500+ years old. The structure features over 4,500 diamonds and costs 10,000 kyat per person to enter—not bad for being the most impressive pagoda we’ve ever seen.

Other highlights of the city include the bustling Bogyoke Aung San Market, home to over 2,000 stores and stalls, as well as the famous Sule Pagoda sitting at one of the major traffic cross sections downtown. The sites, the SMELLS (good and bad), the welcoming locals—we couldn’t be more grateful for our time in this crazy city.
