 Yangon, the capital city and gateway to Myanmar, is one of the most attractive cities in the East with tree-lined streets, shaded parks, gardens and lakes. Whichever way , you come, by sea up the Yangon river, or by air, there is the Shwedagon greeting you, even beckoning you announcing unmistakably that you have touched an essentially Buddhist country, the land of the golden pagodas. Yangon is unique among the Asia cities, a happy blend of Eastern mystic and religious charm, with modern living conveniences. Yangon has been impressive as one of the world's
best planned cities, in standard of both compactness and mathematical
uniformity, which can be obviously seen from the straight streets and
roads that intersect at right angles. Yet this metropolis is not a dreary
cluster of big buildings. Its fringes are beautified by pagodas, spacious
parks and its atmosphere cooled by the Kandawgyi (Royal), Inya and Kokine
lakes. Not far from the official and commercial hub of city are typical
Myanmar residential localities with rows of timber houses, palm trees
and monasteries. The Yangon River gives it color and a peninsular look
(from aerial view) touching the city in the east, south and west.
Unlike many capitals, which raise up the barrier of modernity and commerce against the provincial countryside around, Yangon seems to absorb the fields and villages of Myanmar into itself. Yangon has the same green warmth of the surrounding countryside and the whole of the smiling, unspoiled interior waits for you to explore. Spread over an area of about 80 square miles
with a population of nearly 2 million, Yangon with its suburbs is a
picturesque city of splendid scenic beauty, without allowing its modern
structure to disturb its oriental character. Arrival to Yangon From Thailand W9-604 From Singapore From China
