Highlights
Yangon is steeped in history, as a Mon village, she was known first as Dagon after the Golden Shwedagon Pagoda. Then in May, 1755 King Alaungpaya renamed her Yangon "The end of Strife" after he had conquered and finally crushed the ancient Mon Kingdom. Modern History of Yangon can be traced through its colonial era buildings and the imprint of the past is indelibly marked on the life cycle of each remaining structure.

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).
