6 Historic Sites in Yangon (Rangoon) That You Shouldn't Miss

April 16, 2022 Darwin Bolte

Yangon (formerly known as Rangoon) is no longer the capital of Myanmar, but it has experienced a huge increase in tourism recently. Book early, as hotel rooms are sometimes hard to find! While you’re in town, the Shwedagon Pagoda, an immense, ancient Buddhist shrine, is a must-see—TripAdvisor travelers recommend visiting at sunrise or sunset.

A large Cathedral with very interesting architecture & beautiful stained glass windows & religious statues. Well worth a visit to something you would not have expected to have survived over the centuries

National Races Village

Reviewed By 737suMH

This place is a little bit out of town and Locals might not go often but they should because all the 8 ethnicity, their clans and how they live and what they use are well show cased with the good shades to sit and talk with friends or family while admiring the beauty of different cultures. I always recommend to my friends coming from abroad. You can take bus from Sule and it's not that far from downtown. They have entrance fee but not expensive. You can rent a bicycle and cycle around the houses. You can also see the sunset from the river side. There are also restaurants.
