Yangon is not capital of Myanmar anymore. But It is still commercial hub of the country. There are many interesting things to see around Yangon such as Shwedagon Pagoda, landmarks of Myanmar, Chauk Htet Gyi reclining Buddha, colonial buildings and Scot market. Come join this tour with me, see Yangon through locals eye.
In 1755, King Alaungpaya conquered central Myanmar and built a new city at Dagon, a fishing village that had existed for centuries around the Shwedagon pagoda. He renamed the place Yangon, meaning 'end of strife'.
Under the supervision of Englishmen, Dr. William Montgomery and Captain Fraser, Rangoon became the most beautiful and cleanest city in Southeast Asia and made it capital. It is easy to get a sense of how prosperous of colonial Rangoon was from the monumental architecture that still graces the city's downtown.
