Take a trip to Yangon on your Myanmar vacation.
Yangon, also known as Rangoon, is the largest city in Myanmar (formerly Burma). The Burmese capital city until late 2005, Yangon is the capital of the Yangon Region and is the country's main gateway on a Myanmar tour.
Yangon has the largest number of colonial buildings in Southeast Asia. Under British rule in the 19th century, colleges, hospitals, modern buildings and infrastructure were developed, making Rangoon the commercial centre of Burma.
Eventually gaining its independence in 1948, Yangon still remains an amalgamation of British, Burmese, Chinese and Indian influences.
On a Myanmar vacation, Yangon offers other cultural and religious sights, as well as museums, parks, and lakes. Its tourism industry is only now beginning to flourish as recent improvements in the country's political climate have attracted both tourists and businessmen.
