Why Yangon
- Shwedagon Pagoda is one of the most awe-inspiring religious monuments in the world
- Crumbling British colonial architecture gives the city a unique aesthetic
- Street food is exceptional and extremely cheap
Myanmar's largest city and former capital is a sprawling, chaotic, fascinating place. The Shwedagon Pagoda — one of Buddhism's holiest sites — dominates the skyline in gold. Yangon's crumbling colonial architecture, vibrant street food scene, and the warmth of its people make it a compelling destination, though the current political situation means far fewer tourists visit than before 2020.
