Yangon, the cosmopolitan capital city of Myanmar,
still maintains its colonial charm with wide tree
lined avenues, tranquil lakes, and gracious turn of
the century architecture. The magnificent Shwedagon
Pagoda dominates the city skyline, while at street
level Yangon is a paradise for hunting out a variety
of exotic arts and crafts. Of particular interest
in the many shops of Scott Market, and of world renown,
are Myanmar’s precious stones – rubies, sapphires
and jade. At night time Chinatown comes alive with
its pungent aromas and delicious street food.
