About Yangon
Yangon, Myanmar's largest city, is a river port of colonial buildings and temples crowned by the gold stupa of the Shwedagon Pagoda.
Yangon spreads beside the Yangon River in the delta of the Irrawaddy. The Shwedagon Pagoda, a gilded stupa nearly a hundred metres high on a hill above the city, is its great monument and a place of daily worship, reached by covered stairways. Near the centre, the Sule Pagoda stands in the middle of a traffic roundabout. Yangon was the national capital until the mid-2000s.
Top-ranked sights in Yangon: Shwedagon Pagoda, Bogyoke Aung San Market, Chaukhtatgyi Paya (Chaukhtatgyi Buddha Temple).
